Hmmmm, i think I'm seeing something. The lord is whispering into my ears saying "last" , "last".. I see coffin, I see crows... Please we need to put this lady in prayers, i see crowd. Speak to me father.

I don't doubt your message, but what if what was whispered to you was the impending death of your own mum? What about that...Is that not possible?

Tranquill:
Anambra people see it as a demotion to be carved into Orlu State with other Igbos from Imo and Abia States.

They want to retain their “I am from Anambra” bragging rights they will usually deploy to oppress their other Igbo people from Imo, Abia, Enugu and particularly Ebonyi States. But, what I find interesting is that a lot of them are excited at the prospect of being carved into Anioma State that was mentioned by Ned Nwoko.

Is there something that I am not understanding?

Igbo people are one and indivisible. That said, each of these administrative units called states in Igboland has developed certain mannerisms that are unique to her over the past three decades. Call it bragging, no part of Anambra would want to be excised from the state. Conversely, some communities in other Igbo states would appreciate being part of Anambra.


The case of ANIOMA and Anambra is more of historical, cultural affinity. Almost all the towns in Anioma has historical ties to the area called Anambra. Anioma is the most sensible state that can be created against the backdrop of the clamour for state creation by the SE. It has geopolitical, cultural and economic benefits to every native Igbo speaker, east or west of the Niger.

The words that are contained in the old anthem are much more important than who wrote them.

It reminds us of our diverse nationalities and languages. And the need to work together.

StUriah:
Igbos didn't have kingship institution until when British colonial made some individuals as their puppet kings.

That Eze and Obi titles are just a modern creation and as such they are inconsequential to their original culture.

What an ignorant set of people! The Obi stool of Nnewi was established 300 years before that of Onitsha. What's going on here. Lazy readers everywhere

PressMyButton:

You named your common heritage, the throne of your ancestors after an adopted name, a name of a strange land?. How wise are you?. Better sit down and be humble.

"An appendage is a thing that is added or attached to something larger or more important"

It's only a foolish mind that analyses issues to suit a preconceived notion. Ado ni Idu is an appendage to a much more important identity which is Onicha, an indigenous Igbo name. "Onicha" communities are found in all over Igbo land.

This issue is way above your comprehension. Get a translator to help you with what the monarch said.

Tareq1105:


Actually an Ibo colleague in the office had told me this before. This is being confirmed by the Obi himself.

God will help us.

Did you understand what the king said, not what your colleague told you?

PressMyButton:

It was a name given to him upon his baptism which is a common place in christendom. However, he never lost any of his indigenous names and identity to external influence. Onitcha Ado n' Idu bears the ancestry of the Onitsha people.

You guys are very funny indeed. Ado ni Idu was adopted by the indigenes upon their return home to Igboland to denote their travails and sojourn in foreign lands.

The symbol they carried along throughout the journey was their beloved shrine UDO. Udo is a common shrine all over Igbo land. Onicha people never lost their indigenous names to any tribe throughout their journeys. The founding ruler of the town till the present have been IGBOS, viz
CHIMA
OREZE
CHIMAEVI

Feel free to rebut me.

PressMyButton:

Why then is Onitsha called Onitsha Ado n' Idu?

Why did Ajayi Crowther choose to be known as Crowther?

Did Nairaland idioots understand what the Obi said? "Igbo bi na Ado na Idu" literally meaning Igbos living in Ado na Idu. Which solidifies the reverse migration of Igbo from the west.

Some people will still complain about this

But, must you people see everything from the prism of ethnicity? What has any rich man's money in Nigeria brought to the generality of his people?

chopnaira:

You know that will never happen. I even watched a video where the Dein of Agbo (Benjamin Ikenchuku Keagborekuzi) corrected an Ibo praying not to use Chukwu but use Osanobua Instead.

Watch video here

I didn't know the Agbor chief could be this stupid. Why didn't he start the correction with his own name Ikechukwu? There are obvious facts that makes one more of a dickhead the more you dislodge them.

Let him get a Bini word to replace the Ike in his name. Then join it with the Osanobua.

A good initiative with the wrongest of all names ever!

Similar names that were openly derided before the world as pseudo Yorubas. Just less than 12 months ago. Black Africans really need to de-emphasize on political pettiness.

I just can't figure out how to defend my Dunukofia dialect of the Igbo as a distinct tongue from the mother Igbo. Generations after me would struggle in vain to achieve that. At best, i might win the battle of being identified as a Dunukofia man but the battle of the language would never be won. It would always be Igbo.

Why expend all the energy?

You can't open a thread as this without being properly informed on the subject matter. Who tells you Imo state with 5,530 km2 is the largest in the South East? It doesn't even come second. Go do your research, please.

Amend the information or close the thread...

Indeed. George Benson was one of the greats of the cross-over/funky jazz era. In the same league was the late Grover Washington Jnr. Grover was a genius of the tenor and soprano sax. He was in fact known as the 'Architect of the funky jazz genre'.

In the same genre, you must have appreciated the works of Eric Gale, Hubert Laws, Hank Crawford, Lee Oscar, Wynton and Branford Marsalis and so on. Well, Jazz music is seen by many as too elitist and aristocratic, but in sheet music lies class and elegance.

Very good for a very embarrassing situation.

Very good

Terrible. These actors/actresses are frequently in petty financial troubles. It's high time their association started taxing a percentage on any movie set to be released to the market. This should be specifically for serious health issues or issues as this one.Their plight is becoming embarrassing.

I love they way the are using quality contractors
Julius Berger, caneburg, China civil engineering company (CCEC)
Good quality unlike a state where they're using umunna and co construction limited 😂🤣
What a nutty professors

Do you know that Dr Otti is on record as the first governor in Igboland to invite Julius Berger to handle projects in his state?

Where is the account number?

Not so. Democracy is hinged on the principle of opposition. There should have been a shadow cabinet of the opposition in the first place. The pressure of a shadow government brings out the best in a sitting government.

Generator-powered economy is not sustainable in the long term. Companies would make less profit because of high manufacturing costs. Consumers would buy at exorbitant prices.

Not only Neimeth, other manufacturers should do the right thing. Aba is within PH range, security is relatively good. It is historically known for hosting multinationals.

Another, young, handsome American, paid a similar supreme price for the British genocide against the Igbo between 1967 to 1970. His name was BRUCE MAYROCK

For Gowon to insist he's forgotten the Hausa lingua franca he was born into, is the biggest lie I have witnessed since my life time.

vanitybutiwanti:
check your brain, it appears some screws are missing, I'm not yoruba but that woman has been in that bank since the inception of the company, everybody uses access, if you're not comfortable with it, pull out your money.

I know you guys can't argue without being personal, and swearing. There's an easy way out; get off my comments.

vanitybutiwanti:
is AIG igbo? Can you provide the source of your data? Why do you guys beat your chest a lot? What has ethnicity got to do with running a behemoth like access bank?

Clientele wise, Access bank is not Yoruba. It would be a strategic error to have a Yoruba head the holding company. I hope this is just an interim position.

I don't want to sound tribal, but 85% of this bank's clientele are Igbo, the hard work of Herbert Nwigwe. It is in the best interest of this bank to appoint another Igboid from the South South or Igbo from the SE. Simple. This will foster confidence

Yes, the idea of attending the Nigerian law school as a condition to rendering legal services that have nothing to do with the Nigeria's customary law, made no sense. This is a step in the right direction.

Djdamian:
Nigerians don't like to read before they comment

Do they even read at all? Their capacity to comprehend is quite low. You can say it's attention deficit. But what do you expect from a population whose government can't provide the basics of life; simple things as electricity and food are out of reach.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

It's important to come together and speak out when people use the instruments of political power to effect lawlessness, injustice, covetousness etc. If a people don't do that, the evil will visit them one after the other. Nigerians kept quiet while Tinubu used his subsidiary company which is Lagos state government to demolish Igbo houses because he thought they didn't vote for him. His family's lawlessness, callousness and covetousness would eventually be tasted by all regardless of tribe. This is certain.

Black ladies born in Europe and America are more likely to stay with you if you understand the norms than these wicked pretentious predators you're courting back home in Nigeria.
