This is how all these fake histories people are parading in Igboland started. From false stories about other groups and clans borne out of shear envy and low self esteem.

How can a reasonable person from God knows where say that Onitsha dialect is extinct? Maybe because he is living in Onitsha and think that Onitsha and Obosi, Nkwerre, Nsugbe etc speak the same dialect.

Little things can make anybody that knows the places tell where you come from. For example.
If Obosi, Onitsha and Oba were to say "I told you" in their various dialect, your will hear.

1. Obosi: a sị m ị (the i will given deep tone)
2. Onitsha: a sị ngi
3. Oba : a sị m ụ

Oke na ngwere pụta ebe a ana akọ tuu maka ekworo na asị. Instead of hating on Onitsha, go and develop your own village

Omanambala:
Oh, I envy Onicha.....lmao. Your issues are deeper than inferiority complex. Its inyagheli not "inyaghari" .....I told you you are not from Anambra and you just proved me right by your attempt at with your Imo tongue.

I am saying it again Onicha dialect is not what is spoken in the metropolis. The original dialect was diluted by the neighboring towns, who were the erliest to move to Onicha in the colonial days. This is a common knowledge. How you arrived at the ENVY part beats my imagination....lol. Or are you just pissed I bursted your fake identity of Onye Anambra.....

It is quite interesting that you are replying me with three monikers. Where is the "HISTORICAL RECORD" you bragged with or you just replied to quarrel like an old hag?

Well, our people say ọ bịara abịa a marọ oke ana. From the dialect I spoke with, someone with a sound knowledge or an indigene of Anambra have already known the dialect I used.

BTW, your "Inyagheli" doesn't sound like what we hear from indigenes of Anambra. Or am I missing something here?

Please, the house should help me and answer these few questions.

1. How do we say "turn this around" in Anambra. Is it
a.["bugharia ya" which will sound like either "buyaria ya" or "buharia ya"] or
b. [b]["bughelia ya" which will sound like "buyelia ya"] like Omanambala wants us to believe?
Please I need answers.

Ka anyị mara one anyị ha.
You know these people don't even know that a typical Obosi man can tell onitsha dialect from Nkpor as well as Oba. Nkpor man can do so for Onitsha, Obosi and Ogidi. Onitsha can do so for Nkwerre, Nsugbe and Obosi.

IDENNAA:
Why are you telling me about Nibo.

AchalugoNwa is not from Onicha, just like you who claim Anambra but you are from Imo.

What is the argument about again ? Why didn't you compare Onicha to Nsugbe or Obosi. Why Nibo who speak an Oka like dialect.

By the way , what is spoken in Onicha metropolis is different from original Onicha dialect. Why are you arguing about something you know nothing about. I will post old Onicha record.

Post the old Record if you have any.
I repeat post.
Iche nọ inyaghari isi. This is how people like you start and spread rumours up and down.

BTW, where exactly in Imo am I from? Ndị ọnọ na ana mara ụsụ dị ime.

Your problem with Onitsha is little. It can be explained in one word which is "ENVY"

I am still waiting for the "old record". It will be a thing of shame if you fail to produce it.

tollyboy5:
You don't mean this wow!
If you go to places in Lagos occupied by most indigene. Places like Epe badagry.
You'll notice the Lagos bales and obas take responsibility of keeping their environment clean.

I keep saying this, those who migrated to Lagos brought in their dirty habit.

You mean those from Ibadan?

I have historical records to back up my claim if you don't mind

Omanambala:
You are correct about everything but the dialect part. Actually, the original Onicha dialect is completely lost. It sounds like ancient Aguleri like how Ekwegbalu Anyanwu the legendary Ekpili singer from Aguleri would sound. If fact , Onicha dialect doesn't sound anything different from Obosi , Nkpor , Ogidi nor even Oba and other surrounding towns. The "smooth silky" tongue called Onicha dialect is a mixture of Omanbala , Idenmili , Oyi and Onicha. It doesn't be long to Onicha and the style of word use is the same by 80%. They are my neighbors and we know them better than outsiders. Onicha people , however are very prideful with a sharp tongue...." Ile Onicha ka ile Obosi" is a common phrase in that area.

No, original Onitsha dialect was never lost. Igboson1 is correct.
What we have today in Onitsha is still the old Onitsha dialect.

During the colonial days, as well as prior to colonialism. The whites compared various Igbo dialects to ascertain if they are truly the same. In most cases, they use different interpreters from different towns, clans etc and the result was always the same. The result was that the people understood each other irrespective of the dialect.

In today's Onitsha, the dialect is still more than 80% the old dialect with small infusions and removal because Language is dynamic.

Here is your receipt. It is a recorded conversation between interpreters from Onitsha and Nibo. You can compare the dialect then with what we have today in Onitsha.

cc AchalugoNwa

Time for her to remember where she comes from.

May the old man RIP

No responsibility, accountability or any "bility" of such.
No, no let's just "celebrate that the trash was cleared by ordinary people who it's not their job to do so"

You know one thing reasonable people prefer? it is people taking responsibility for their actions. The refuse management service should be held accountable for allowing such in the first place and necessary action/punishment taken to avert such in future.

Thank you and God bless

@OP it's obvious you haven't seen my grandmother's place

I never knew IPOB was based in Maiduguri until today

It is a shame that all the effort and Igbo lives Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu sacrificed to avert this seems to have failed.

When I read testaments from the Coup plotters, all of them kept on hammering that Nzeogwu's main aim for the coup was to avert ethnic cleansing on Northern Minorities by Fulani Jihadists while others like Western Region political disaster, Tiv uprising and the county's economic turmoil were second class.

I thought they were making it up because then, this ethnic cleansing seem to be non-existent but now I can see better. This is one issue I have with my people, we should learn to mind our business. The fact that Chukwuma Nzeogwu was born and bred in Kaduna doesn't make the issue of Kaduna Minorities his own because, from the way the contraption called Nigeria was structured, it will always find a way to affect his own original nation.

Can somebody tell me what he achieved in Kaduna after dragging us to what never concerned us? Fate has it that Southern Kaduna and other Northern ethnic Minorities are designed to be either fully subdued or anhilated by Fulani so no need to delay it. What difference will it make if he jejely allowed it to happen in mid 20th century or now?

Hope my kinsmen learn from him. Always mind your business. Leave Tinubu and his Lagos business for Yoruba people. Learn to keep quiet when ISWAP that is camping in Niger state invade their targets.

PressMyButton:
If Yoruba would not touch your 2×2 when they had the opportunity during the height of civil war, it only proves that you are beneath them in all ramifications.

You think history is market women's quarrel.

First of all, Most Yolobas celebrated when the pogrom was brought to lagos. They thought looting Igbo shops will better their lives but the reverse was the case.

So my dear, history is not stories written with chalk that anybody can erase at will. Every push that happens in Lagos always end with most Yolobas either looting Igbo shops or campaigning for more looting like we saw in Endsars etc.

Now what is the main point of your thread? The same envy and Shamelessness of eyeing Igbo peoples property.

Laziness is when a full grown adult male sits down by 9am to be analysing how to coerce his fellow man's property in Lagos. All the way from OSHOGBO oh

The worst is that what you are doing is the average thought running through most of Yoloba able bodied Men.

Where were you people when Igbo men came with nothing and established themselves in that Lagos?

Una shame dey shame me.

Datikwerreboi:
You don't tell a man whom he is . Speak for yourself as I speak for myself

Ordinary your history on this forum will be laughing at you talkless of that of Ikwerre people.

My dear, ethnicity is not something to blackmail with. It is not something you can decide to pick whenever you want, especially not when you want to blackmail the other members of it.

You lots have made yourselves clear and just like we have done with Ika, we have come to the conclusion that you lots are not Igbo. You people lack the basic trait required to be called Igbo.

Stop deceiving yourself thinking you can pull the same trick your people do every time with Ndigbo on April fools day.

Datikwerreboi:
See this Delta woman. We have always been part of the eastern region and Igbo. But you have always been with the Benin

They have always been part of Nri, or should I say, they are Nri.

Didn't you see her moniker? Nwaanyị Ogwashi-Ukwu (Ogwa Nri Ukwu).

My dear Ikwerrian, identity isn't a political something that you can tag with a pathetic existence like that of Nigeria.

So don't put Eastern region nonsense or SE, SS nonsense when talking about it. It is far deeper than that, or should I say "it is sacred" . You using a geographical space designed by white people to justify ethnicity/nationhood show how shallow your understanding of "nation" is.

Not that you can understand all these given the circumstances of your nation (Ikwerre). I am just saying though.

Osagyefo98:
Osagyefo98 of omambala ethnic nationality.

LOL .
Madness is free, carry on Aboki.

Nwanyiogwashi:
ikwerre are not Igbo ,thank you.
please keep to your ikwerre mister.

Welcome back

Osagyefo98:
Who are you please?

One of the owners of the barn you are trying in vain to destroy and you?

Osagyefo98:
Anambra is not a multi ethnic group. The state is inhabited by people of omambala ethnic nationality.

LOL. So this is the end point of the mission impossible you people have been working on for the last few years.

Omambala ethnic nationality?

Do we look like Ikwerre people to you zoo men?

Datikwerreboi:
I'm Ikwerre and I'm Igbo

Stop this nonsense, e no dey reign again. The era of you lots smearing Igbo name for relevance has passed. You forgot that Nairaland show post history.

We are not recruiting. Learn to respect yourself.

Thank you and God bless. Ikwerrian

"E don red oh mama, e don red oh"

This conflict has shown how myopic current generation of US and EU is. So they think that Russia delayed this war for 20 solid years despite the dehumanising treatment they get from Ukraine and the West to fall for their favorite sanctions which in actual sense is Robbery.

Some people can be myopic

Do you know that there used to be indigenous people that look like Austronesians but were called "Indians" in the place you now call USA?

What happened to them?

Ans: Most were wiped by Western Europeans. Now it is a rare occurrence to see one.

BTW, a particular native ethnic group went extinct in South America after the last surviving man died few months ago.

I know you must be asking yourself, why didn't this thing happen in Africa. Well your answer is "mosquito" your saviour

sweetmelanin:
You can make a submission without sounding dumb and frustrated you know..

BTW,

1 cedi = 58 naira.
That's how useless our Nigerian currency is.

Please do your research before making baseless assumptions.

Even in the face of fact, fools will try to justify their foolishness (proverb 14, 8-12).

Very soon a Donkey like you will say that Zimbabwean Dollar is higher than naira because of their 4th Re-denomination that saw 1 ZWL to 1.14 naira.
The prayer point of APC will be for Nigeria to have abundance of foolish idiots like you so that after they are done with the inflation, they will Re-denominate naira and you and your fellow donkeys will go "naira is now higher than dollar" with the new redenominated value.


Just Google "Ghana Re-denomination act of 2007"

Like the snippet I posted said, only zeros were removed, the value never changed.

Finally, for the record, I don't care if you continue in your foolishness or not because that is what most of you people in this part of this world are designed to do, but don't brand it in public as if you know what you are saying

Mr/Mrs sweetmelanin I don't care about all the things you listed but your number 5.
You need to understand that it is not everybody that is dumb. Ghanaian Currency is not in anyway better than Nigerian Naira.
The misconception in Cedi is a deliberate attempt by Ghanaians to fool those that don't have proper understanding of their currency.

Ghanian Cedi on paper looks like 8.1 cedi to one dollar but in actual sense it is 81,000 cedi for one dallar

Maybe bankers in the house can help explain it better. Ghana removed five extra zeros (redenomination act of 2007) from their currency few years ago by reintroducing the use of Pasewa making it 1,000,000 Pasewa for one Cedi. If Nigeria was to use the same trick and reintroduce Kobo, then one dollar will be 5.8 naira on a normal scale, but if we go Ghana way (1/10000) it will be 5.8 kobo at most for one dollar

Not everybody on nairaland is easily fooled

MT:
Your submission was not valid. There are ways things play out in an international stage.

You are the one that doesn't understand how the world works.

Contract becomes valid when both parties agree. Things become legal tender when all parties agree it is. The civilisation as you call it is general agreement not some kind of supernatural power.

The West rendered the contracts useless when they started the sanctions. You cant tell Russia that you paid for her gas when she can't access the payment due to your sanctions, and secondly, when the payment worth less than what it should be due to your sanction again.

The true definition of payment is when something is exchanged for another of equal value/worth/how hard it is for you to give out. This is where the West is cheating Africa, mandating her to remain in abject poverty without hope of being rescued. Only the Igbo challenged this in Nigeria when they launched Ekumeku campaign that lasted for 30 years.

What I just taught you is something you should have learned in elementary social studies/science/philosophy

Like I said, if the West have any objection to Russia's demand, then they are welcome to go the old way (WAR).

MT:
Not when signed contract is involved

The so called "signed contract" was rendered useless when the sanctions started.
Now they have to force Russia the old way to honour it or.......

Deeprooted:
We have enough at home to battle with.

Let's leave Russia and Ukraine alone!

Where exactly do you think Europe hope to get alternatives from?

My dear don't allow ignorance take the lead on you. Venezuela is seriously arming themselves up. Saudi is looking for cooperation with China incase.

You don't get it. If these Imperialists don't find alternative before December, they will lose their sanity and look for where they will get alternative by force even if it means reintroducing what they did in 17/18th century.

Civilization is just a lie to hide the fact that they (West) get what they want unchallenged. Always remember that slavery was not abolished because they felt guilty but because of mechanisation and need to force their people to buy the machines.

Think

obailala:
You guys have said it all... if the gas stops flowing, Europe's economy (including that of Russia) would take an unprecedented fall. Citizens across Europe will surge into the streets demanding their leaders stop playing politics with people's lives.

Nope remove Russia. They will sell very little for far greater profit than before because very soon it will be a matter of life and death to get the gas.

It is simple Capitalism that Putin learned during all his years as a soviet emissary to liberate Africans as a way of crippling the West Economy.

As for the protests in Europe, it started last week. Infact it is a riot but media houses are suppressing the news

Then they will have two options
1. Either watch their citizens freeze to death next winter and their countries turned into a war front by riots OR....
2. Invade Russia and take the gas by force.

yorubarere:
Have some shame. Some people just lost their lives.

And you created a thread to mock them.
I don't care if this pass as generalising but most of you people (if not all) from Yoruba land are heartless

Just go through the acclaimed non-Yoruba handles he posted and you will realise it is just like all the fake monikers on nairaland designed to hide their true ethnicity.

Oga those handles are just like Juliusmalema, omenkà and the rest on this forum. They are masks

Wazobia2216:
Where are the doubting Thomas

Everything na joke to them

Let's take back our country, let's vote for those who truly care about it

Let's look for those who are not paying lips service to the youth!

Nigeria is not yours and will never be. Nigeria is a British company. It doesn't belong to you.
If you want to talk of your own country then you will be talking of liberating your own people and going against the British Imperialists.

Anything aside from that is you showing off your ignorance.
Thanks
