I'd blame those Igbo communities attacked for folding their hands and watch riffraffs slaughter them with impunity

Nice that you caught that out, you can see where I substituted the character with akagu in absence of nsibiri. Thanks.

We'll see as the writing develops as writing systems are really just at the mercy of the people who use it. The writing will have to be sent to the unicode consortium to be used on phones and computers, but that's a bit later after more people use the script.
Ya..
But try and produce a Latin based one at least before the year runs out to enable peeps like us master the script faster kos as you know we're already exposed to Latin and the akagu letters are a bit cumbersome embarassed
Then try and look into the phenomena where one word has like more than 2 characters to it for eg
The word "na" has 3 variables in Igbo
1] ná
2] nà
3] nā
The thing am talking of is a situation where one of the variables eg >nà< has more than a character representing it.it presents something like a dilemma kos some peeps might be confused on which one is which.
Am still in the learning process and would offer criticisms needed for the betterment of the script while waiting for it to come out so that I can download for use on my phone and system smiley
Thanks alot

I can see momentum for this picking up over the next few years. As at now, I'm aware of one media project that intends to make use of Nsibidi in the production of short films. Essentially Nsibidi will serve as the sole writing system in the fictional storylines. It's also very likely that the developers of the project will capitalize on the healthy vaccuum and the agglutinative nature of the language and script to coin new usages. This could easily be seen as an example of the vacuum problem resolving itself.
Which media househuh
Pls tell me so that I can wait for them..you don't know how happy I'm for this.smiley
CultureRe: Igbo Stereotypes by cheruv: 5:54pm On Aug 05, 2015
Gurgle:
Nnewi women are stubborn. Well all Anambra women are stubborn

Ebonyi and Nsukka people are backward and timid. Don't know how to hustle and scatter wherever they live

Mbaise people are cunning. Kanayo O Kanayo Hm! lipsrsealed although I know hes just acting tongue

Aro people are haughty/arrogant. and also cunning

Owerri people are party animals

Rivers (Ikwerre) people are lazy because of the oil they are enjoying there

Abakaliki people have very hot tempers- the "notherners" of Igboland

Owerri people form a lot- check out the complicated English names they normally answer, chaiiii grin. Victorianna, Seraphinia, or whatever lol

Imo and Anambra women are too "smart" in marriage and quick to divorce. Ebonyi and Enugu women are timid, pushovers and slow to divorce

Port Harcourt people are cunning and somehow wayoish

Enugu people are less corrupt in their dealings. That is, in Enugu state, somebody can come in and expect to get something done without too much wayo attached to it

Southern Igbos look down upon northern Igbos as "bush" people

Northern Igbos look down upon southern Igbos as wayo people with fast lives

Aba people are agberos/rogues

Umuahia women are tough, don't take nonsense

Imo state/Owerri ladies marry outside a lot and don't take the guys place too seriously, preferring to to fix their fathers place very well

Ngwa people are cannibals. I think this is actually true but they have stopped the practice

Rivers state people are generally confused in life

Anambra guys don't marry on time. Especially the OMATA kind. And when its time to marry they will dump the girl they have been with for years and take up with one sweet 16 chick from the village, because their "mama said". Imo guys are accused of this too

Ohaofia people sabi build houses pass everybody

Imo state/ Owerri people are light-skinned and/or very good-looking

Ngwa people are short, with muscular build and light skin. eg Nkiru Sylvanus. And they bleach a lot

Enugu/Anambra people have tall stature

Anambra people are industrious. That's true. The list of "notable people from Anambra" on Wikipedia is endless
Not bad..
What of Anioma?

East central state had the same boundary with present Rivers state. Nothing has been added or subtracted.

My Lynn's suggestions that rivers was carved out of IMO is totally wrong.
All these assertions you're giving shows you don't know anything..
Do this
Pick maps of SE/SS of these years '67,'76 and tell us what you see.better still browse eastern & midwest regions of Nigeria

haha...still pained that i didnt tell you my state? Won't you let it rest? Sorry o. I'm very proud of my heritage but i won't use it to banter like you Ibos and Yorubas do here. You know why? Cos it makes no difference to me. There are good guys on both sides and there are equally devils on both sides as well. Infact you lot are not even better than the Hausas if we want to be fair. Good people are good people, bad people are bad people. It doesnt matter where they are from. Simple!

FYI i not only have a job, i have a freaking good one. If i show you my pay slip you will definately pass out!

There was no Biafra sharing borders with the Oyo empire or the Benin kingdom and believe me ,
There will never be a Biafra sharing borders with oodua states.
All those radio Biafra listeners are deluding themselves.
You only need to listen to it for 5 minutes to throw up. Devoid of facts but loaded with hate.
The information being circulated cannot stand up to basic scrutiny
And I can say boldly that the hate being propagated represents at least a majority of the SE opinion .
nothing wrong with wanting your own country,
Something is definitely wrong with the God complex.
At the very least , itshekiri kingdom will be autonomous.
The vindictiveness which led to the senseless civil war is the same thing playing out right now.
All because of oil which exists on the land of the minorities.
We are tired of waiting conservatives tribes to catch up with our liberal style of life.
For the itshekiri, if and when the call is made , we shall stand with you .
From the Savannah of Jebba to the coastal sea dwelling tribes of Dahomey, men shall answer the call.


No land of Oyo will be part of Biafra
Oil oil oil.
As if oil is the only source of revenues .
I can't wait to lead the Biafran army on the conquest of Oyo.

There's just too many lies, fraud, and injustice, and even campaign against a strong Eastern Nigeria.
One of my friends today told me that he stumbled upon a document (from the British archives) that showed how the British RIGGED the Southern Cameroonian plebiscite that would have had them join Eastern Nigeria instead of Cameroun.
Yes, the British always wanted to hem in the Igbo (the lead ethnic group in the East) to make the East easier for exploitation.
The Bameleke of Camerouns rioted after that plebiscite, and 400 of them were jailed for it. They wanted to join the Igbo of Eastern Nigeria because the Bamileke are just as enterprising as Igbo and had zero fears of the Igbo, but the British feared a strong Eastern region that would have resisted what is happening today in Nigeria.

Our people just need to THINK, seek information and discern, else everybody in the East will be victim of a very old elaborate scheme.

My "SS" brothers, I come with love.
I also saw one in which the Brits in Cameroon were advising their govt at Westminster to ensure that they take the lead in crushing the Biafrans bkos the southern Cameroonians were waiting for the rebellion to succeed before kicking off their rebellion and then asking Biafra for help to assert their independence.
Fear of the Igbos... embarassed no be today thing shaa

what are you saying, Edo refers to the Benis mainly. It sometimes used to refer to all the people of Edo state.
Is it ewuare or eweka I can't remember the particular one that renamed igodomigodo to Edo.. The golden state. It reminds me of those Chinese dynasty stuff cheesy
But on the flip side,they're all Edoids! angry

since when edo become a tribe?

Yoruba man will never travel out of his brown roof. Thats what is causing this rubbish. In one sentence you identify "Etasako and Edo" as a tribe. Smh.
bro do your research before you open thread about ethnic groups you know nothing about
That's true oo shocked thanks for pointing that out smiley
Bia scholes,the name Edo consist of
1]Bini.. as the largest
2]Urhobo or Sobo as we Igbos call them
3]Esan/Ishan
4]Isoko
5]Afenmai which include the etsako,akokoedo and others in the northern fringes of Edo state.

According to your map,when did Jekiri & Galla turn into yolobahuh
Moreover Jekiri was formed through interaction from the Ijoid,Edoid & Yoruboid peoples with the Ijoids having the greatest share yet your people wants to claim them.. undecided
Some parts of igala have been igbonized..so I'd not suggest you coopt them into your "Yorubosphere" tongue
Seriously scholes0 I thought you were learned..based on our arguments the other side but it seems you're one of those brown roof goons loitering about cheesy
