Uhuala can mean an AREA/PLACE that is at a lowland/valley/plain, as against others that are in a hilly place.

This one is close to the true meaning. Most places i know that bear 'uhuala' are like valley.

pazienza:
Urueze. Eze's home. It means that the progenitor of that compound was a man by the name, EZE. All parts of Urueze are decendants of Eze's home/compound.

Urueze in that case means Eze's family.

I'm not disputing your statement. But in most Igbo communities what is used for the statement you made above is OKORO. There's Okoroigwe, Okoro-obi and Okoroeze.

ckenneths:
Uru or Uhu exists in most Igbo towns. We have Uhuafor and Uhuagu in my town.

Noted

Ok. Aleast ask someone above 100yrs.

Sen. Hope Uzordimma won APC ticket, someone that joined the party just yesterday. And what's Orlu man going there to doing again.

BankeSmalls:
If Rochas and imbe Nwosu loses in 2019, Abagworo will disappear from this thread .

AND That WILL Be THE Beginning Of Imo return to greatness

Madam mind you, Rochas did very well in Imo state. Separate truth from politics.

Abagworo:
Oguta LGA is very large in landmass about 1/3rd the size of Lagos but Oguta Ameshi is a developed town inside the LGA and there are also other towns. Oguta is a residential town inhabited mostly by natives and is like GRA of most major cities. I will do a video of the streets

Can you get pix of Izombe in Oguta lga and Nkwerre

mightguy:
For oba in anambra... We ave uruagu. Uruokokwu. Urueze.... echetara echetara

What's the meaning of Uru there? Uru I know in Igbo means benefit or fattened meat (uru anu).

pazienza:
If Onitsha and other Umuezechima towns don't go about shouting about how they migrated from and are Ancestrally Bini people, and their kings sniffing around the ass of Oba of Bini. The Bini people wouldn't be twisting the story of those towns.
They are willing accomplices to the Binis. The Bini are only reaching out to them, because they were the ones who started flirting with Binis. You would be biased if you are going to start blaming Binis for this.
Ask yourself, why is Bini not claiming or twisting the stories of Ogidi or Obosi? It's simple, we are not flirting with them by druming about ancestral Bini origin everyday. It takes two to tangle.

you are correct bro

pazienza:
Another one is Uhu/Uru/Ulu.

It actually means home. It's the old Igbo word for Ulo/Uno.

Pazienza, I won't totally agree with you on this one, uru and uhu mean two different things from ulo or uno. Pls do more research on these. I know of two different towns in Imo state that bear Uhuala and Uruala but the people still use Ulo as the word for house.

ofcos i knw. They are proud igbo people. All of them... We are jst trying to tell our Chima descendants over there in Delta that Chima is a popular name over here in the east even Onicha...

Ok noted. But no offence to anyone, people should trace their origin based on community names not on concorted fairy tales that has no basis.

aniomafirstson:
We also have idemili/Ndemili in anioma

Then another popular town name is umuigbo and obigbo

You see, similarities in community names. Community name and language should be the basis for tracing people's origin rather than all these concorted stories.

mightguy:
bros don't mind them. There are lots of facts to be used against them... Sometimes when u hear the stories they concocted.. U bcome amused.... Someone told me onitsha is from orisha forgetting that Onitsha is actually a mispelt Onicha. Lol. One bini guy like that... He became dumbfounded

I don't know why most binis i know are the ones telling me the history of Onicha and Umuchima, my Igbo towns. These people are the real land grabbers.

ckenneths:
Chima is a common name in Igboland. There is no Igboland town without Chima and chime. There are countless Chima in my own family in Enugu state

Well noted. The true origin can be found using the various community names.

ckenneths:
This is the Agbor the rest of the world does not get to see..........

Hmmmm, beautiful and decent indeed.

odogwu125:
Aro/Alor is another town scattered over igboland

Another point here.

investnow2013:
Owerre ebiri(Imo State)

I forgot this popular name.

pazienza:
Onicha is one of those proto Igbo word that it's meaning has been lost.

Another wildspread Word like Onicha used all over Igbo speaking realm is "Owerre".

1. Owerre-Uratta (Popular Owerri Imo capital)
2. Owelle-Ezukala (Orumba Anambra)
3. Owerre-Olubor (Ika Delta)
4. Umueleke Owerre ( Mbano Imo)
5. Owerrinta (Abia state)
6. Owerre. (Awgu Enugu)

You are right bro. Add to the list, Owerre-Nkworji (Nkwerre, Imo state), Owerre-Aba (Abia state), and Ihitte-Owerri (Orlu, Imo state). Other wide-spread names are Aboh, Ihitte/Ifitte, and Uburu/Ubulu. Idemili exists only in Anambra and Imo.

letu:
Seriously, I don't know there were two Jaja wachukwu in the 60's or are they the same person if they are, then know that your information is wrong.

Nothing like two, it's mispelling. It's Jaja wachukwu and Aja nwachukwu, the former is from Abia state and was the 1st nigeria indigenous foreign affairs minister while later is from Enugu state

mightguy:
Onicha igbo eze in ebonyi. Umu ezechima in imo state. Umu ezechima in enugwu... Umuchima in ebonyi bros the list is endless but some of them will turn a blind eye when they see evidence

Yes. But Umuchima Ideato south has nothing to do with their Ezechima and Bini Fairy tales. this is a popular Igbo name and has no meaning in BINI.

mightguy:
add. Onicha uboma
. Onicha nwenko. Onicha ngwaa.onicha ezike... Onicha and ahaba in isikwuato etc

Correct! the list is endless. Onicha is a popular name among all the sub-tribes of Igbo.

kasynOgenyi:
Redflame aka superlightning. You are from Abia state. Oya let us roll. No one is scared of you or anyone. Let us scatter everything. Abia state is dead. Oya..

Imagine someone from dead Abia state talking when others are talking.

Chino, dont try that madness.

ckenneths:
There are many places bearing Onicha in Igboland , they might be related in some way?

Onitsha (Anambra)
Onicha-Ugbo (Delta)
Onicha-Igboeze (Ebonyi)
Onicha-Enugwu (Enugu state)
Onicha-Olona (Delta)

Add Onicha Mbaise (Imo) and Onicha Ngwa (Ngwa) to your list.

aniomafirstson:
Can you send me the links to owerre songs biko

Just type "Sir Warrior" you'll see all his songs.

bestview:
The guy na Aba pig. We go treat his matter shortly. Lol

He's no longer from Nsukka, it's now Aba because you thought you are through with Ebonyi and Enugu with your devisive tendency, it's now Abia turn. Ok, i'm watching.

Hahahaha, so this fool thought that he can get free nomination form after insulting the Igbos because of APC and PMB. Bros, not like that oo. Wake from your sleep. What a disgrace!

aniomafirstson:
BTW anioma doesn't need your support to even retain power in delta state.
we have been doing fine without SE and will continue to do so.

Don't go this part, it's unnecessary. We are all one people with one destiny irrespective of the different predicaments we are facing in the political atmosphere of Nigeria.

OMANBALA1:
Listen, I dont have problem with Anioma becoming Igbo but do they really want to be Igbos? Do they ? We will wait and see.

Who are you to question their Igboness? lets drop those actions that will divide us the more. They were created Igbos, only that some of them decided to deny their identity for their personal convinience. Let serve the purpose of this thread and be mindful of our comments. It is for the unity of all Igbos irrespective of the geo-political we find ourselves.

Lol..that fight you wanted since i go give you today. Inferior Enugu idiot



Enugu urban where animals live lol

See your way na. Quoting yourself just to derail this thread. What are you benefitting from this?

Xander85:
If you give me just $1 Billion and leave me with Aba for just 4 years, i'll turn it into the best and most beautiful city in the entire country!

What Aba needs now is proper attention and good governance.

arinzeejikonye:
Aba Abia state

Websta.

Aba will be great soon considering the attention Okezie ikeazu is giving it. I pray he continues.
