gidgiddy:
Problem with people like you is that you dont understand that there is a difference between being landlocked and having access to the sea

A lot of Nigerias think that having access to the sea means having coatline, thats not true

The River Niger may run through Niger Republic through Nigeria to the Sea, but Niger Republic is so far from the sea that their access to sea is neither here no r there. However, the South East is not only close to the Sea, it has many tributaries going across it and running directly to the sea, some in Abia are as short as just 15 nautical miles to the sea. It may shock some people to know that Portharcourt whaf is 18 Nautical miles to the Sea

Assuming the South East becomes a seperate country from Nigeria, thats where the UN Convention On Laws Of The Sea(UNCLOS) will take effect. That water way that runs from Abia to the sea, even though it may run through Rivers State and Akwa Ibom, is not owned by Nigeria. You can only own land, nobody owns Rivers

No one owns the river like you said

yoruboid:
Niger Republic also has a waterway to the ocean so what’s your point? Does it mean they can dredge through River Niger without Nigeria’s permission and access the Atlantic

Abia cannot access the sea without the permission of the coastal states

Okay that's not your problem

So relax I know this Abia seaport is butthurting you people

yoruboid:
If you think it’s not then you need to take a class in geography as it is clear the governor is on a wild goose chase except he partners with adjoining states that have access to the sea

You will need to go through the territories of Cross River, Akwa Ibom or Rivers to access the sea

Would Niger Republic claim it’s not landlocked because it can access the sea through River Niger?

There are only 8 states in Nigeria with sea coastlines and they are -
- Lagos
- Ogun
- Ondo
- Delta
- Bayelsa
- Rivers
- Cross River
- Akwa Ibom

Below is the map of Abia. Please show me the coastline

Are you not seeing the water ways to the ocean

As long as there's a river to the ocean

It's not technically landlocked

This port really dey pain Una o nna eh

Kuginzi:
Hmm

Shameless 🤡🤡

Dear Peter Obi and all Obidients, can you guys explain to us what happened to this great Onitsha monorail project?

The MoU was signed by Peter Obi in 2010 between Anambra state government and a Canadian firm. 13 years later, we are yet to see any monorail. What’s the update on this project?

Lagos was capital for 77 years
And collectively built by everyone
Any state would do better

Lagos is glorified slum! Makoko is in Lagos

All Ogun, Osun and isese worshippers pursued out of kwara be claiming lagosians

Even makoko slum dwellers dey form Lagosian




If you're the ones that built it why is there no other Lagos in SW Oyo? The open defecation capital of Nigeria and brown roof slum capital of Africa home of rice Bandits
Or Ogun ?the ritual and skull mining capital of Africa with highest number of out of school children in the Southern states

Abeg gettat

Cave dwelling 🤡🤡 travel no !


Be disgracing yourself bloody rice bandit

sammsimm:
The only senseless people I know are those who wasted their votes on someone who governed Anambra for several years and nothing to show for it.

You're from a tribe of liars

Everyone knows!


Results speaks for obi


The fact that he even won Lagos Tinubu own state is a testament

The dumb asses are those who voted disaster and are now reduced to rice bandits with 1M+ kids out of school to brag about

Rossikk:
Yorubas are the separatists. They want you to leave their lands where you settled in your millions.

You are the real UNITY BEGGARS, because there are even more of you in the north than the entire Igboland and SW combined.

Your actions (settling all over Nigeria in your tens of millions) speak louder than your words ('we hate Nigeria and want to secede')

I'm even surprised you haven't started dragging land ownership with Hausa people on their soil, Mr internet secessionist.

The funny thing is ,

You know you're lying



Tribe of liars and propagandist

sammsimm:
Okoro keep dreaming.. Asiwaju would be last person on earth to release Nnamdi. Just continue killling your people and economy. Senseless people

The only senseless people are those who voted disaster and are now stealing plantain and rice

Very Graphic

booblacain:
While I support cleaning up Lagos markets, I ask, have these people gone to Alaba rago (not the same as Alaba international). Is there any market as dirty as that place in Lagos. Why have they not shut it down?

ehikwe22:
Goodnight. You're always out of point and make absolutely no sense in your comment. You lack comprehension and your responses are always off topic on this thread. I'll never reply you again

If an ika man speaks

Who hears him better?

Igbo or Bini man?

That answers your questions of your origin

Abagworo:
I know this very well. Chukwu is the God of Aros. Chi is not smaller God but guardian spirit that comes in different forms. Anywhere you see Umuchukwu it means they are descended from Aro and Aro influence went beyond Igboland not just by settlements but the gospel of Chukwu which spread like wildfire.

so aro cut accross up-to ika then?

Swiftgrp:
Ehikwe22, I like your insights on this topic.

The etymology of the word Odogwu is of pure Yoruba origin via the
Igalas or Edos who had contacts with the Delta North, Anambra, and
Enugu axis.


Olori Ogun means "head of warriors." Olori means leader or head and Ogun means war in Yoruba language.

That loan word is got from "Ogun" and found it's way most definitely via the Igalas (Igala is classified as a
Yoruboid language) who also have
Yoruba bloodlines in the entire
Igala ancestral family tree.

According to the late Attah of Igala kingdom, HRM Michael Ameh Oboni, in a 2016 Saturday Punch interview, migrants from the
Wukari (Jukun) area in Taraba moved along the Benue River and fused with a significant number of Yorubas and Edos at the river confluence area in the Kogi axis. Hence, the fusion of Yoruba words and words from ethnicities that fused to what you call Igala today.

There are indigenous Igalas and Igala-associated or mixed communities in Delta North such as Ebu, Illah, Asaba, Okpanam. Anambra North and Onitsha has
Igala roots (forming their quarters there), and Northern Enugu State has Igala ethnic presence for over 500 years.



"SIMILAR Yoruba/Igala words"
1] Egungun (Masquerade in Yoruba) is spelled Egwugwu by Igalas and that got into Ibo language as a loan word.


2] Ogun (In Yoruba language, it can mean war, medicine) is spelled as
Ogwu in Igala and used as a loan word in Ibo. E.g. Money medicine or "Ogun Owo" in Yoruba is "Ogwu Ego" in Ibo!


3] Ogede is plantain and bananain
Yoruba is exactly Ogede in Igala.

4] Akuko is cock in Yoruba and is Akuko in Igala language and is a loan word in Ibo.

5] Omi is water in Yoruba, and is also Omi in Igala but is called Mmiri in Ibo.

6] Ifa (the Yoruba religion ) is
Yoruba and Igalas call it Ifa too but is corrupted and called "Afa" by the Ibos via it's introduction to the Nri area through the same Igala contact. It was the arrival of
Igala into the Nri area that led to the introduction of the kingship system in Nri. Prior to that, the aborigenes had no monarchical system as exemplified by the Eze Nri.


The Igala influence on Anambra, Enugu, and Delta States was very significant for over 500 years as to have caused the entry of Yoruba/Yoruboid loan words into the central Ibo language. A little close to 40 percent of Igala words are of Yoruboid origin. Same with
Itsekiri who also have major Yoruba bloodlines (of 3 subclans of Ilaje, Ijebu and Ife) in addition to Edo immigration from the Binis in the 1480s through Prince Ginuwa into Ode Itsekiri where he and his exiled team met Chief Lenuwa and his people of Ijebu origin, and Ginuwa settled in their midst and married some of the Ijebu women.

In Anambra, Igala communities such as Igbokenyi exis. Aguleri also has a strong migratory Igala ancestry presence from about 400 years ago from where they interacted with the aborigenes.

Even the popular RED chieftaincy cap was first introduced into the
Nsukka area of Enugu State from Igalaland by the Igalas and the wearing of the red cap then spread out hence, it is NOT indigenous to the Ibo aborigenes.


All these have strong verifiable sources online and offline.

Una too lie Tue!


Archeology and everything tells otherwise!


Have stuff longer than most of your ancestors


The nsude pyramids outdates most of your kingdom


The Igbo ụkwụ bronze work are the first if it's kind In west Africa

Igbos are the first people to do bronze works in Nigeria



Igbos read and write in nsibidi hieroglyphs




I hate when people lie


It's common to share same words with your neighbours claiming ownership of certain word is an insult to any rational mind

Ever heard of "Language convergence " ?

It's a phenomenon that leads to the problem of not knowing the origin of a word because the speaker wants to sound like thier Neighbour

And it's easy to do that because both Igbos , Yorubas and edo Infact all southern Nigeria belongs to the Niger-Congo A group of languages
We have same linguistic origin so it's comon to see convergence of certain words

So coming out to say people loan a word from you is an insult to rational and educated mind

Abagworo:
Chukwu is not Chi-Ukwu but an Arochukwu God. Only Aro used Chukwu forGod in the past. Ngwa/Mbaise/Ohuhu were Chineke/Chileke while Uratta/Ikwerre/Etche was Eke/Okike as creator God.

linking Chukwu with Arochukwu is just funny
Arochukwu is a confederation which didn't even extend to even Delta

Which is made of "Aro" ( people) and Chukwu(almighty God) Arochukwu means people of God
There wouldn't be the word Arochukwu without Chukwu

Chukwu is chi-ukwu in short

Igbos believe there are smaller chi's (god's) the supreme God is "chi" and "ukwu" (Supreme) in short Chukwu


Correct yourself abeg

Be blasting them with preaching during Thier sessions ensure the speaker is loud

ehikwe22:
There is no chi in Ika. We use Oselobue and also chukwu for God although Oselobue is the creator in Ika cosmology, chukwu is quite popular in present day but in terms of personal god/guardian it's exclusively ehi. I'll try to educate you because you're not Ika

I agree about the ehi

Chukwu is a derivative of chi-ukwu

ehikwe22:
The bolded is either a joke or you're such an ignoramus on this matter.

As for the Ehikwe, we don't have chi in Ika land. You must be deluded to think it's deliberate attempt to twist it

You don't have chi?

You've confirmed you're not ika
