Alj Uche:
so you are comparing hiter and abacha to yaradua

tell me who yaradua has killed before you start talking silly here

Don't mind the kids.

Igbo.

Eko Ile:
Bankole fell in Ogun state which is a PDP state with a PDP governor.

Ogun state governor = ACN governor?

Oyo state governor = ACN governorship?

Like I said, you GEJ umblerra people are very clueless and ignorant, you don't even know your own states,


As for the rest of your rubbish, I dare not waste my time on such worthless and ignorant crap.

IRRELEVANT.

Buhari should wait for 2015.

Thank God for Ohanaeze.
Amb R. Chukwu Uwechue, may your days be long.

Alj Uche:
i do not care if he is from the north or south

he is died and deserves respect

SPOT ON.

^^^^

Why are you being so confrontational? She didn't even say anything that was particularly offensive.

Boy don't start formenting troubles where non exist. She as well as a lot of people are confused about the Anioma issue and I played my part to clear the confusion. So how am I confrontational?. Carry time ooh!.

Abagworo:
To prove how silly you sound I had to substitute Ika with Abiriba and Benin with EKOI.I can as well do the same with every Igbo sub group.

If you say Ika is not Ukwuani or Ngwa is not Ikwerre or Isuama is not Nri or Item is not Ezza,then you are absolutely right.combining Abiriba,Ngwa,Isuama,Oru,Egbema,Ezza,Izzi,Ohafia,Etche etc as one Igbo and singling out Ika as the only one with peculiarity is quite biased and a fallacy."Midwest Igbo is not Eastern Igbo" is a correct statement but "Midwestern Igbo is not Igbo" is a very wrong statement.

Well done Abagworo. The guy has been disgraced in all the sites he has made same claims. His own immediate Ika people have pissed on him severally and denounced him as Ika. Do you remember?.

the bold was a mistake its my first time posting on nairaland. However by reading people's post I know most of the members here are unneccessarily argumentative. If Igbo is one language and all the ethnicities in the area are one, why are the anioma struggling to be recognised as a seperate people? I'm not Igbo and I don't speak the language, but what I said about edo state holds true, a lot of villages have their own distinct languages.

Anioma people are not struggling in any form to be recognised as a separate people. Anioma is an assemblage of Igbo groups West of the Niger. There is no ethnic group called Anioma now or in the past. However, some families from some groups that constitute Anioma feel they are not Igbo. This is mostly seen around IkaIgbo areas and Ukwuani, not the entire Anioma.
Finally, there have never been anytime in Western Igbo history that the Obis and and their subjects have come to demand for a separate ethnicity. Anioma began as a movement for the creation of state for the Igbo in the old Western Nigeria. NEVER A MOVEMENT FOR AN ETHNIC IDENTITY. I hope this settles properly in your confused skull.

Edo State
Bini, Owan, Etsako, Agbede, Usen, Ososo, Esan, Okpilla, Otuo ,

Most villages in edo state have distinct languages. For example, among the Owan, erah is different from orah which is different from otuo. They're all neighbours.

Okpilla and Ososo speak an entirely different dialect. Agbede is bini mixed with igbo. Usen is bini mixed with yoruba. I'm sure edo state alone has about 30 linguistically different ethnic groups.

Even in Asaba, the anioma dialect is different from Anambra Igbo.

The bolded part does not make any sense at all. Asaba dialect and Anambra dialects are Igbo. In my LGA in Imo State, two dialects are spoken but one language. Imo state alone has more than fifteen dialects yet one Igbo language.

sbeezy8:
my cuzzos mom is from ukwuani and she swears shes not igbo but maybe shes playing clearly she speaks igbo. but for some reason she doesnt like igbo for her  children, even her sisters aswell married edo men.

i think she thinks shes special cause she from delta state or whateva

sometimes she says shes bendel not igbo or sometimes they say delta igbo instead of igbo, my cuzzos say dont mind her shes an igbo lady with issues.

obviously some have issues

During the early days of Igbo union/Ohanaeze, the Ukwuani leaders such as Hon Oputa etc played active roles in the organisation. After the war the anti Igbo Nigerian regimes encouraged them to see themselves as non IGBO and that idea were bought by some of them. But recently, some of them are coming back to their senses. The UKWUANI Union leader here in the U.K is a woman and has proudly identifie with us in our Igbo activities in The U.K.

Alj Uche:
what do you think about the article

The writer is a Rivers Igbo who once denied his IGBO Identity. But he is back in his senses now and supports everything Igbo. I disagree a lot with the article. 1st, education in the old east was not in the hands of chiefs and elites. Education in the old east was in the hands of the missions and town unions. The churches established schools in the east and awarded lots of scholarships to pupils to study higher. Secondly, Igbo communities and town unions collaboratively built schools for their villages and that helped spread education in the east. Before the war Ndigbo were at par with the Yorubas in education as a result of my reasons. The war set Ndigbo back educationaly and financially. But through hardwork, Ndigbo bounced back and reclaimed territories that once belonged to them and taking more territories.

Interesting.

Alj Uche:
i agree, if igbos were "wowo" then so did other ethnic groups

Thanks Uche.
But Uche, don't you think it will be wise for Seun to make me a moderator in the politics section alongside Aisha2 North and Jarus from Yoruba.
I know this is off topic, I will delete it after your response.

monkeyleg:
@Andre Uweh,

Most people one here are adults, matters should enver degenerate to the level when we start throwing gutter language at each other. There are other ways of making your point. I do not accept that we should ever have to come down to this level.

Someone comes here and calls my father a sycophant etc and you ask me to swallow that. Reread his post and give him a yellow card. His attitude is too bad and I do not regret my response.

2015 or not, what Ndigbo needs in Nigeria is good governance. A govt that will see Ndigbo as Nigerians and treat them as Nigerians. We have seen that in Goodluck.Ebele. Jonathan.

Jarus:
If PDP wins CPC in presidential in Kano, I'll resign as NL mod.

Please don't resign whatever the outcome as I look forward to becoming the third moderator alongside you and Ais2

monkeyleg:
@Andre Uweh,

Your language and choice of words is very bad. I will not have someone like you speak for me an Igbo man with such a mouth.

Assuming your father is an Igbo leader, then someone comes here to label him a sycophat, opportunists and conscienceless beneficiaries would you feel happy?. Perhaps, you did not read the OP's lines carefully.
Does our father's no longer have choices to make?.

monkeyleg:
Why didnt you answer my simple question about why he Endorsed a Known Crook and wanted money launderer Governor of Delta state? or are you the only one not seeing the trouble he has been fermenting in Delta state?

It doesn't matter, you can still vote Uduaghan out and vote G.Ebele.J in.
Goodluck to you.

Orikinla:
Majority of Yoruba voters have proved that they are wiser than majority of Igbo voters by showing that they can reject the corruption and maladministration of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). They have also shown that they can infact vote for an non-Yoruba presidential candidate without being bribed or cajoled with 419 promises like the Igbos who have made themselves the political goats of Nigeria. Just dangle the grass before them and they will follow you like "mumu".

I am opposed to the endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan by the Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other political sycophant, opportunists and conscienceless beneficiaries of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) the most corrupt political party in the history of Nigeria.
The corrupt ruling party PDP has been manipulating and rigging elections since 1999 and doing the same in the 2011 elections in Nigeria.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ruled that polls will be cancelled at any ward or area where there is violence. Therefore, the desperate ruling party provokes and instigates violence to disrupt the strongholds of the Opposition parties so that the polls would be cancelled and give the PDP advantage over the opponents.

There were several cases of incidences of electoral malfeasance during the National Assembly elections of Saturday April 9, 2011 and I disagree with INEC and others that "the incidences were not enough to affect the overall results of the elections".

There were rampant rigging as reported by many news reporters and affected the outcomes of the results as shown in Anambra, Imo, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Benue, Kwara and other states where the National Democratic Institute (NDI), Commonwealth Observer Group (COG) and other election monitoring groups did not visit during the polls.

The corrupt ruling party also uses political bribery and gerrymandering to compel voters to endorse and vote for the PDP at the polls. The PDP has succeeded to hoodwink INEC and the monitors. But we have resolved to reject the corrupt ruling party and if we cannot do so through election, we shall do so by a revolution as you have been witnessing in North Africa and the Middle East.

Twelve years of the corruption and maladministration of the ruling party have left the majority of the citizens poorer and powerless with the nightmares of incessant political assassinations, extra judicial killings, ethnic and religious riots, terrorist attacks and systemic collapse of government administration jeopardizing public healthcare, public education and economic security of the poor majority in Nigeria.

a vote for President Goodluck Jonathan is a vote for corruption and maladministration since 1999 to date.

No matter what happens on Saturday, the Yoruba voters have already earned my RESPECT.

What a brainless crap from a castrated maggot. If Ndigbo were divided between Ribadu, Shekarau, Buhari and GEJ, this shameless maggot called Orikinla will be the first beast to attack Ndigbo for lack of unity. Now they are united behind Jonathan and you are still running your smelly mouth about the Igbo choice. Get a life you dirty P.IM.P. Ediott.

Alj Uche:
i really do not understand why

Uche my brother, don't be offended by my outburst, but I feel it is an outright stupidity for someone to claim that Igbo people were wowo in the colonial era while that person can not produce his grand or great grand father's photographs for comparism.

She continually types ibo instead of Igbo to further insult the ethnic nation. All the pleas from all and even non Igbo to stop the imbecility has proved abortive.

ezeagu:
The person just had an ignorant moment. Certain people don't play with their ancestors and they should know that now.

Trust me, My fight against bigots will never stop. I have seen so many photographs of Yoruba, Hausa etc in the colonial era, yet no one said they are wowo but once it's Igbo, those usually busy in harlotry will abandon their occupations for ethnic bashing.

alj harem:
you are right there leaders do not treat them like this

how come our leaders are making common mistakes

Uche, I know you hate evil, how I wish you can silence that Bigot. I wonder why her parents failed to teach her good manners.

Kobojunkie:
Revolution in Ibo land will have to begin with the public denouncement and disowning of these nincompoops who continue to pretend they are ibo leaders. I mean they make skin crawl each time I read of them claiming to make yet another decision on behalf of people WHO DID NOT ELECT or select them to LEAD.


For those not aware, these are the Tinubu's of Ibo land -- going around pretending to be LEADERS, only selling the people's future for a kobo or two!

You are a no brainer at all. Your deceased fingers does not type anything good but only insulting words on Igbo leaders. Yorubas, Hausas, Ijos etc have leaders, yet you hardly insult them. Should I say menopause is the reason?.

There have not been elections in Imo state since Ohakim came to power. He and his cabals appoints those they want.

I clearly remember how the APP now ANPP went into alliance with AD, yet they lost to PDP in 1999.
No shaking, GEJ to be sworn in on May 29th, 2011.

Be careful.
