Where is Obiagu to disclaim this I always told you guys to let things happen naturally. If the Ikas say they are not igbo, please let them be! If they say they are igbos, let them be!!!
The other day, an Owerri woman was asking Andre about her language, instead of Andre to teach her or say he does not know, he simply told her to learn Igbo. What sort of Neo-colonisation is this??
This sort of colonisation of the ethnic minorities in the East will not go down well if care is not taken. Why do you want to force Igbo down their throats
If indeed, they are/were Igbo, you simply have to wait for them to realise their mistake and rectify it themselves.

[b]STOP NEO-COLONISATION!!![/b]Enough said!!!

It is only a no-brainer that will go about asking where to learn Owerri, Agbor, Mbaise, Isinweke, Rebisi language etc. How do you feel when a Yoruba person starts asking where to learn Ibadan, Oyo, Ede, Offa and Egba languages. How about an Hausa person asking where to learn Kano, Rano, Gusau, Katsina and Zaria languages?.
Why do some people feel it is cool when it comes to Igbo language?.

omonuan:
Here are my two cents: I do not intend or expect ad hominem attacks from anyone but the facts are that Delta state government considers Ika, Aniocha, Oshimili, Ukwuani a/k/a Anioma as Igbo. For many years they have been classified at various times as Ika Igbo, Western Igbo, Bendel Igbo and now Delta Igbo. They now prefer to be called Anioma people!

If anyone chooses to be called any other tribe within this enclave, that person is going against the grain. Even the Obi of Owa has stated clearly that Owa migrated from Nri. The fact that Anioma people have Bini influence is also a truism. This was reiterate by a famous Anioma man in the 1700s. Olaudah Equiano a/k/a Gustavo Vassa from Essaka i.e. modern day Ashaka in Ukwuani talked about the Bini influence on Anioma people but proclaimed proudly: "I am Eboe." It is pertinent to mention that the influences from Bini are miniscle compared to that of the Igbo.

I am from Anioma specifically Enuani/Aniocha and I am comfortable in my Igbo skin but some of us are not. To each his own though. For those Anioma people who feel nostalgic about Bini, it would be imperative that I remind them that the modern day Benin massacre occurred in 1967 with the blood of Anioma people flowing like a river in Benin. The crime of Anioma people? They are Igbo and it was an open season on the Igbo in Nigeria. The Bini are yet to atone for this attrocity

Please don't delude yourself and think that it won't happen again if the Binis are given a chance to annihilate Igbo.

Currently we have some Anioma people in Edo as natives-The question is how has Bini treated Igbanke and Ekpon? They are generally called Igbo by other Edo people to the point that they want to be extricated from the yoke of the Binis and joined with their kith and kins in Delta-Anioma people.

You would have thought using the logic of some people here that Igbanke would have felt at home in Edo since as Ika people they are more Edo than Igbo. Nevertheless, they feel unwanted and unassimilated and they now want to go back to their roots-ANIOMA! On my part I will do what I can to bring my people from Edo back home to where they belong.

I would enjoin any right thinking Anioma person and perhaps our brothers accross the Niger to join the crusade to free Igbanke and Ekpon because they are yearning for freedom! Thinking that Anioma people are Bini will not help the Igbanke cause. Igbanke people have seen and heard that they are so close to home and yet so far away from freedom. It is now up to us to bring them home!

May the peace of our Lord be with you. Happy Easter.

Your post does not make any difference from what has been thrashed out already if at all you thoughroughly went through the thread.
We all know that in Rivers state, dialects such as Ikwerre, Ekpeye, Egbema and Ndoni do exist but they are all come under one language-Igbo. It is pointless repeating what has been discussed already.

Ohakim with his half truths as usual. There were no local council elections last August as Ohakim deliberately chose his men to fill those positions.
The Ohanaeze played a greater role in persuading Ndigbo to vote for GEJ. Not the governors as some of them have outlived their usefulness.

Lil fry, this thread is about the true extent of AlaIgbo, thou shall not derail.

The girl wanting to learn Agbor language which does not exist resides in London. In London, Igbo language is available and some Agbor sons and daughters are currently enrolled in this classes. The choice is now hers.

The unity process was begun last year by Ohanaeze and that has resulted in the election of GEJ as Nigeria's president.

Beaf:
lol!

The false prophet could not see that his house, built on the sweat of the vulnerable and gullible, would go up in flames. May he continue to witness the flames he wished on others.
Almajiri's in the North went to "vote" just as he recommended on NN24, with kerosine and matches and many people lost children and loved ones; many had their sources of wellbeing damaged or destroyed; many were maimed, others truamatised and violated. May Bakare continue to reap whirlwinds of karma.

No need for that, the presidential election has come and gone and we emerged victorious and that is it.
It's a pity he has to suffer another loss within a week.

It is difficult concluding the true extent of Ala-Igbo but this map is the most acceptable. It might not have included the micro Igbo communities in Edo, Akwa Ibom and Benue states, but that is the best we can offer.
Happy Easter, Igbo bu Igbo, Oden'igbo, and ogbakoIgbo.

Why are people so ashamed of their roots?.
Why not tell Nairalanders the name of your town or local council and its attributes?.

[quote author=A.Chigozie link=topic=647752.msg8179749#msg8179749 date=1303458034]I think the headdresses worn by the women are exquisite, along with some of the dresses. However, I wonder if all that clothing isn't uncomfortable due to the warm climate of Africa? Granted, I've never been to Africa, but from what I know it is a very hot and humid place. I think our ancestors had it right, when their attire was minimal.[/quote]Definitely not what you think and not the hijab.

. . . but [s]he's asking for Agbor, isn't [s]he?

It is pointless searching aimlessly for an item that is not in the market. What is the point in any one asking you where he or she can learn Umungasi language?.
Or anyone coming to ask me where he can learn Isinweke language?.

Most of those guys you feel that they have made it feel very insecure in those countries and will jump at any opportunity to relocate to the UK. Within 2 years now, I have assisted 3 blokes from Austria to settle in the U.K.

Are you interested?.

Looking at the election results from the SE, SS and SW last week, I asked myself this question

IF TUNDE BAKARE WAS IGBO. WOULD BUHARI HAVE WON THE ELECTION OVER JONATHAN ?

He would have still lost the polls. Chuba Okadigbo was once Buhari's running mate, yet Buhari lost.

[quote author=EzeUche__ link=topic=651855.msg8177302#msg8177302 date=1303417736]This is a nonsense thread. He is illustrating his culture now learn to deal with it.[/quote]Wise one, May your days be long.

@The OP, How about this?.

[quote author=Rhino.5dm link=topic=629485.msg8177143#msg8177143 date=1303415928]I find it necessary to resurrect this thread which the PDP/GEJ used in conniving with thisday to led the igbos to the 'slaughter' in the north.

Going through the link provided by the OP, you will never fail to see clearly the lies and the intention to use those projected 'magic numbers' to rig this election in those areas they percieved total failure.

I will not be wrong if i say here, that thisday, PDP/GEJ/sambo under estimated the capacity of the almajiri's to cause chaos when they feel cheated or not.

Now that the deed was done, only the cries of the 'sacrifial lamb' and wantom deceit of un repented PDP keeps on reasonating.




yet again, the igbos have killed unneccessary by the singular act of greedy politicains particulary, that of PDP.

CAN YOU vouch for PDP/GEJ in not knowing what they are planning[/quote]Gorilla, all your posts is about Igbo this or that. Does the word Igbo choke you in your dreams?.
What a frustrated clown you are. Ediott.
