Of course, it's an open secret that If Ndiigbo secede from Nigeria, whatever that will be remaining in Nigeria will be overwhelmingly Islamic in nature. And it's a known fact that through the emirate system, the Fulani controls the Nigerian Islamic world.

This is the fear of those who hate Igbos, yet dread Igbo secession.

What will Herbert Macaulay say then?

This Nwokocha of a man, his hands better be clean, cos he will be so scrutinized by Buhari goons now, God help him if there are any dirts in his past. Even his loved one's are fair game too.

Like the saying goes, fight Corruption and corruption will surely fight back.

As far as am concern this is senseless write up by one of Amechi damage control agent

Kpogede is not an Amaechi agent, he is an old member of this forum.

This rabid Igbophobic individual, so you decided to resurrect this your old handle.

If you like burn your region, Kachikwu wouldn't be affected, he is an Anioma man, and Asaba will continue growing.

The boasting has started again....What ever happened to humility?

Go and see down, hypocrites irritate me.

How come you don't feature in threads involving Igbo criminals where the Igbo race is usually singled out for bashing and castigation by bitter Nigerian ethnic groups.

How come you don't show up there to hold and warn them tribalists? Huh! You just keep mute and smile behind the scene while Igbo bashing goes on in full speed.

But when Igbos as usually achieve noble feat, and we proud Igbos decide to use it to showcase the magnificence of the great Igbo race, you show your hypocritical face, preaching nonsense humility, biko jee zaluo ala!

Abia really disappointed this year. What's going on with folks over there. They should watch it o! How can a Northern state like Benue be outperforming them, and they couldn't even make it to top 10.

This is totally unacceptable.

As in ehn... the thing tire me. But lets even assume number of JAMBITES is something to brag about.
If everything was about Yoruba vs Igbo, then here is what the report shows.

IMO: 104,383
DELTA: 78,854 at 25% Igbo = 19,713
ANAMBRA = 77,694
ENUGU = 69,381
Ebonyi, Abia, Rivers missing

Total = 271,171 Students
__________________________

OSUN = 72,752
OYO = 72,298
OGUN = 62,973
KWARA = 54,606 at 80% Yoruba = 43,684
LAGOS = 24,160
KOGI = 57,694 at 23% Yoruba = 13,269
Ekiti, Ondo missing

TOTAL = 289,136 Students

So, Kwara is 80% Yoruboid? Okay o! Kwontinu!

LMAO!!! Hyundai has just given ndigbo weapons on nairaland without knowing it!!! Chai!!! God you're mighty! Propaganda has just been shattered!!! D'you know PH refinery stands at 210,000 BPD at maximum production,this proposed refinery is 250,000. I thought SE wants to steal ND oil. God is able!!!

More than able. It was God of Igboland that kept the wicked Yorubaman, Obj and his Hausa colleagues from carving out the Ukwa area away from old Imo state during their dubious boundary adjustment programme of Post civil era that was aimed at landlocking SE and depriving it of oil producing territories, a situation that saw the rest of Asa land and Ndokiland ceded to Rivers state to form Oyigbo LGA.

If the whole of Asa and Ndoki was ceded to Rivers state, the people would have been corrupted and their minds conditioned to hate the SE, we would have been hearing of Ndoki ethnic nationality and Asa ethnic nationality with stories of Bini migration stories made up, and their new ethnic group will be built with a strong core of Igbophobia, so much that it will be very difficult for those of us in SE to reach out to them without being branded land grabbers or oil thieves.

But by keeping the rest of Asa and Ndoki in Abia, God used them to keep those of them scattered in Oyigbo LGA of Rivers and Akwa ibom, close to the SE.

Chukwuebuka, indeed.

14 Igbo general of SE origin, were retired under frivolous reasons by Buhari, whooping 14, for a group that is under represented in the Army.


The only good news is that I know the mind set of the average Igbo man that thinks he is well positioned in the Nigeria setting. Most of them are one Nigeria apologists, and would kill the Rest of us against Nigeria if need be to please their Nigerian overlords and to retain their positions.

So, in the long run, this might be a blessing in disguise. The more of Igbos with strong Nigerian interests emasculated, the better for the rest of us common Igbos.

I read the news of Innocent Bia***day Celebrants in Abia state that were caught and disgraced in Umuahia by the Nigerian police, most of policemen were Igbo in origin.

Owaza is in Asa clan of the great Igbo race, in Ukwa West LGA of Abia state. The area is peaceful, and far removed from the militancy of Ijoid areas of Rivers and chaos of cultism ravaging the Igboid areas of Rivers state, I believe that's part of the thing that attracted the company to the area, not to mention the fact that it's rich in hydrocarbon deposits.

Not removing Ukwa East and West Area from the old Imo state and lumping them into old Rivers state, was the greatest mistake of the Enemies of Ndiigbo as represented by Gowon,Obj and those that Balkanized Igboland right after the war.

Ndoki and Asa clans are the SE trump cards, with them we will achieve alot, those two clans remain of extreme strategic importance to the future of Ndiigbo and SE in particular.

Nice development. Ndi Asa, nma nma nuo!

Beautiful Nonsense.

Which work do the Yoruba's, Hausa's and Igbo's do to deserve 87% crude revenue from oil states. Rubbish!!!

I didn't read your thrash. once I saw your name, I knew it wouldn't be sensible. The reason why y'all are scared of True Federalism isn't far fetched. You cannot stand alone.

Get lost.

How exactly did you end up puting Igbo into your argument. Better mind yourself, the person you are arguing with is a Yoruba Muslim, face him and his ilks, leave Ndiigbo alone for your own sake.

[b] Three teenage pregnant girls were rescued from a ‘baby factory’ in Adigbe community of Abeokuta, Ogun State. A female operator of the factory was subsequently arrested by the police.

Items recovered from the Abeokuta house at Soas Estate included cowries, a calabash containing black soap, and various white garments.

According to Premium Times, the place was uncovered after one of the captives escaped from the house. Abia State born teenage girl subsequently went around seeking alms from neighbours to enable her return to her state. She also claimed that she had no idea where she was.

The concerned neighbours, after realising the trouble the young woman got into, have immediately alerted the police.

The police raided the house on the night of April 2, 2014, Wednesday, arrested a suspect, identified as Muyibat Yusuf. Two other captives have been rescued.

Meanwhile, on the next day an angry mob, made up of mostly students who live in the neighbourhood, set the house ablaze along with two cars parked within its compound (pictured).

However, some of them were later arrested for arson.

According to neighbours, the owner of the mansion lives abroad.

A resident of the area, Tunde George, told the reporters that neighbours had always been suspicious of the house, as its generating set was always on, even when there was electricity supply from the power company.

He alleged hat a busy area in front of the building was used for ritual activities by the occupants of the house.

To strengthen these words, the police revealed that some “fetish materials” were found at the scene of the crime (pictured [/b]

Reasons like everyone is sharing on this thread is the reason why I support putting federalism/regionalism on the back burner till we come out of this sinking recession. While a good thing, it is a huge distraction.

Imagine having a coming together of say 10 representatives from each state to discuss restructuring (regionalism or federalism), it will take light years before a peaceful common sense agreement can be reached.

BTW, I have a picture in my head where minimum wage is say in the N75,000 range in Lagos, Ondo, Rivers, or Akwa Ibom for example, and it is say in the N30,000 range in states like Nassarawa, Ebonyi, Kwara, Sokoto for example, that will surely spur massive migration.

Yea, and may be N500 in Osun and Ekiti, considering how Broke the two Yoruba states are.

You have a point, but that's life, all fingers can never be equal.

It is not a bad thing, it is the fear of FG.
If u become the president today, I am sure u wouldn't want any region to break away under your watch.

If I become a Nigerian president. That will be top of my agenda.

Just imagine. The same Omenka that is Afflicted with rabid form of Igbophobia is pretending to be a neutral calling for truce now. You must think folks are blind.
The very fact that it's a rabid Igbophobic individual like the OP that is calling for this truce is the more reason why the whole thing is a joke.

[b] ONICHA
The story agrees with the account of a migration from Benin Empire. In this account Ezechime is identified as a chief and veteran of the Benin-Igala wars of 1516. The account goes further and it says the Queen Mother, Idia had trampled on Ezechime’s farmland and Chime who had a quick temper assaulted the Oba’s mother. When the Oba got to hear what happened to his mother, Ezechime decided to leave Benin and left with his family and other sympathizers. In the course of their migration and establishment of temporal camps , they discovered a very fertile land called ANI-AMI. They then decided to settle near this said ANI-AMI. This was how they got to Obior. Onicha was the oldest son , Oligbo the baby of the house and Ukpali was the Ada and the first child. Onicha was a hunter and frequently hunted and was not at home. Thus when Chime died , Oligbo hurriedly performed the mortuary rites (instead of informing his elder brother) and laid claim as successor. When Onicha came to learn of what happened, Oligbo fled and sought protection from some Nri people who had settled at Ogboli. Onicha himself left Obior and settled near Onicha Ukwu town while farming on the same ANI-AMI farmlands. A war soon enveloped the entire area when Benin forces invaded and Onicha, then a very old man fled with his family to the farm (ANI-AMI). One of his sons named Ekwu did not join the family but rather decided to dig a trench around his father’s settlement in present Onicha-Ukwu. This is how the name Onicha-Ugbo came about. It simply means Onicha family that had fled to their farms at Ani-Ami. While Onicha-Ekwu became transformed into Onicha-Ukwu. Onicha Ugbo being senior to Onicha Ukwu has never being in doubt. The Onicha-Ukwu do not actually have an Obi but an Okpalabisi who acts an Obi. Obi in this case refers to a monarch who becomes king by primogeniture and not by being the most senior title holder.

Deadlytruth:
Aha! It's now you are talking. Your attempt to attach Edo to Yoruba is informed by war memories which have however been debunked here, and not based on ethnology or cultural considerations.
Sad to inform you that the Ijaws and Itsekiris in Edo can't join Delta because they are hedged into Edo by other Edoid tribes. If they could have been in Delta then they would have really been carved into it. Moreover the Delta you so badly want has Itsekiris who are more or less Yorubas and as well cracked down on Biafra too in revenge for Ifeajuna's murder of Okotie-Eboh their son.
Even on the war issue Edo/Deltans had to protect themselves from Igbos' unprovoked invasion of their land. Igbos killed us so you wouldn't expect us to fold our arms. Moreover Most SS states ditched Biafra and worked to thwart it like Edo did. So by that logic of yours all SS states are now lesser Yorubas. Bayels State is now lesser Yorubas because Isaac Boro joined the Nigerian Side to crush Biafra. Very interesting! Other SS states may wish to join Biafra but never Edo/Delta. Mark it!

What are you blabbing about, the coup originator, Nzeogwu was a mid westerner, an Anioma, Ifeajuna is an Onitsha man, but Onitsha also has Anioma ancestry.
Like Igboland was Balkanized after we lost the civil war, so was Anioma Balkanized after the lost the Ekumeku war against the British:https://www.nairaland.com/561937/ekumeku-movement-igbo-version-mau
Your Okotie story is a made up story. Isaac Boro might have being on the FG side, but there were many other Ijaws on Biaf**** side like Frank Opigo.

Edo will never be part of Bia***, Mark it down, you belong with Yorubas. As for Delta, I reckon Anioma will end up with us, I don't know about the Edoids, they are independent.

On the war Issue, the Igbos the Edos killed in Bini city and all over Midwest were not Igbos of the East, they were Igbos of the Midwest, aka Anioma, aka SS people today, go figure!

It's not just about Edo role in the war, it's the fact that everything about Edo reeks of Yoruba.

Someone should do something about this spam bot. Abeg

I find it interesting that Ikwerres in NL had all gone mute, and allowed a Yoruba impostor to represent them here.

Ikechu68:
Una negodu?

Ariani Is that the only reason I called him yoloba?



See desperation to save his drowning self.

Lol! Never knew that being Yoruba is this bad, that a Yoruba man would go to this great length to disprove his real identity.

Deadlytruth:
SS is not even based on mutual intelliigibility of languages. So your arguement I'd flawed. There are Ijaws and Itsekiris in Both Edo and Delta states. So how do you separate some into SW and others into SS if it is by language? Of all the over 20 languages spoken in Edo State none is mutually intelligible with Yoruba or Igbo except may be Igbanke. The real reason why you Igbos insist Edo is not a SS state is that in your pursuit of unrealistic Biafra with the SS in it, you want the minorities to bring in five states just like you will be bringing in too so that the minorities will not lay claim to higher entitlements over Igbos unlike how it will be if they bring six states to the table. Simple. It already happened when an Igbo man headed the committee that looked into the proposed creation of Anioma state. The Igbo chairman of that committee argued that such would mean 7 states for the SS while the SE remains 5.

The only reason we don't want anything to do with Edo, is because we know that Edos are but lower class Yorubas, same Igbophobia and stuffs, we can do without that, we see Edo as a Yoruboid territory in the long term, and we don't want to have anything to do with Yoruba or yoruboid things.

The Ijaws in Edo can always join Delta, same way the Igbanke and other pockets of Ika speaking communities can join Delta, we don't really consider them
Edos.
Edo doesn't need to be mutually intelligible with Yoruba, Edo is Yoruba in all intents and purposes, just a lower class Yoruba. Enahoro and Awo were partners in crime in pushing the starvation policy on Bia***, and as we recently confirmed, Oba akenzue not only joined in stoking the flames of Igbophobia with his 1965 article on Ndiigbo, he also was a key contributor on why Gowon reneged on the Aburi agreement.https://www.nairaland.com/3143222/biafra-memo-oba-akenzua-aburi/1#46254556

Edo is simply not on our plans.

On the Anioma state creation ish, that lie had been debunked a million Times here. I am tired talking about them. Ikechukwu is an Anioma man, ask him kindly to educate you.

Deadlytruth:
So Edoid is no longer related to Edo but Igboid is still more or less Igbo? Ha ha ha ha ..............! That is just one. So Urhobo which migrated clearly from Benin and therefore called Edoid is no longer related to Edo?
Secondly what do you know of some languages in Ogoja areas of Cross River sharing thousands of words with some tribes in the Northern parts of Edo State? The SS identity and composition was arrived at after very detailed research by ethnographers and ethnologers. You obviously have a long way to go.
Why keep that thread till when you have time? Was it not the same you that have been demanding for the thread? Now you no longer have the time because defeat is scaring you in the face. Try it and I'll silence you with fact you never ever knew of.

There is no edoid language in Cross Rivers. Languages share words, heck! Igbo language share similar words with the Luo language of Kenya, it's just a mere coincidence. No Cross river language group is edoid.

Yes! Uhrobo despite their Bini migration stories speak a distinct language that is 100 percent not mutually intelligible to the Bini man, but the Igbanke man speaks an Ika dialect that is very mutually intelligible to the SE man.

That's what I mean.

No, no language research was done before SS was carved up, SS was the idea of men like Ekwueme that sought to give the minorities down south a voice of their own.

HopeAtHand:
You are either dumb or worse.

If you had disabused your mind and taken time to read thru the thrad you'll notice where i stated that i had a conversation at the state secretariat where some Ogoni elements argued that Oyigboland is theirs. It was taken frm them during the civil war.

And what is your concern, you Igboman, why the emotional attachment to my state.

Lol! A Yoruba man calling Rivers his state. Nsogbu ga dimakwa gi n'isi.

Deadlytruth:
You are the one so insinuating. So it lies on you to create the thread and then I'll meet you there. I will batter you with facts previously unknown to you about the ethnic relationship between Edo State and other four SS states of Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River and Delta. You obviously have never herd it that GEJ is not really Ijaw but of an Edoid tribe. Just create that post and call me in. You'll regret it. Please go ahead.

And by the way, Edoid relationships does not make Edo SS state, afterall, we know that there are Igbo speaking people in Bayelsa, Rivers, Edo,Akwa ibom, possibly Cross Rivers, that doesn't make SE, SS. Especially when those groups languages are not in anyway intelligible to the Edo man, unlike those of the Igboids that is intelligible to the SE man.

Edo I Maintain, remains a SW state. That's where Edo belongs and will eventually end up.

Lol! Who doesn't know that Otueke speak a distinct edoid language called Ogbia with it's own distinct dialects that is non intelligible to any Ijoid language or dialects?

Dude, that's like old news.

When I have time, I will create that thread an invite you, you seem to be confusing Edoid with Edo.

Deadlytruth. Again, create a thread for that and invite me let me teach you one or two things.

The title should be: Is Edo really a SS state.

As for this thread, it will not be derailed, it is dedicated strictly for Ikwerres and Ndiigbo.

If you want to be involved, do what you Edoids and Yoruboids do best, create a new moniker and claim either Igbo or Ikwerre.

Thanks.

HopeAtHand:
STFU, we know your stars, the criminals and drug peddlers who sell drugs in Asia in the name of 'hustling' are you true stars. They are celebrated and worshipped at home because of the drug money they throw about. Be sincere to yourself i speak thje truth.

Now what constitute values to Igbos?? I wonder..honourhim, come and talk about the decay of the Igbo value system.

Lol! So you can't even mention one single Ikwerre inventor?

Funny enough, the few bright ones in Ikwerre who I think probably have lots of Igbo genes, which is the reason for their brightness, always associate with Ndiigbo. They wouldn't want to be yoked with Bini vagabonds.
If you were really Ikwerre, you would have known those bright individuals and would have tried to use them to counter me, which of course will lead to me reminding you that they identify as Igbos.

Adaure4ever:
hahahahaha. I hit his nerves.
It is you rags that are Descendants of Ancient Benin slaves who ran away.. And i read somewhere here that Oba of Benin warned you people to stop claiming Benin history.. You slaves will stain their history.
An ikwerre man in the midst of the Benin men is like a slave and will be viewed as one.
I pity you miserable things.

Imagine pathetic things that don't have a language, culture or names of their own. Their bad behavior got them banished from ancient Bini empire and a curse that caused them to forget their Bini names, culture and language was placed on them. And they think they can pour this their curse on the Igbo nation? Mbanu!

It is unprecedented in human history, that a group of people would suddenly throw away their culture, language and names and pick up that of their new neighbors, so much that not even a single bit of their previous language culture and names survived, but such was the level of curse that was placed on theze Bini vagabonds that they became the first in the history of human migration to have done that.

Their sins and crime in ancient Bini must have been heavy for such a curse! Damn even small groups like Degema that migrated from Bini retained their Edoid language.

What a shameless bunch of people.

HopeAtHand:
You are really pathetic.

I missed it when it was hot, im only trying to set records straight out here that Im Ikwerre and not Yoruba, before it degenerated to this.

I do not consider the Igbos being excellent in anything aside criminality and social vices. Nigerias bad name abroad is largely due to the nefarious activities of your tribesmen who rubbish our image overseas.

I dont consider writing books/storyteling anything major neither do i consider CBN governorship which is a political appointment as a feat, so notify me wen you invent rockets cos im a scientist and i appreciate my field of endeavour.

And yes, it pains you all that Ikwerre has decided to stand on its own, with a separate identity from Igbos, hate us all you want.

Igbos to us, are just a tribe of criminals living in a godforsakn erosion ridden area, who have to literally grind the dust to eat.
