Don't let us decieve ourselves.

Nigeria can never be united, we have been trying to unite since 1960 all to no avail.. So why continue deceiving ourselves.

Any Igbo that insult or tries to denigrate my tribe will be insulted back in full force.

Many yorubas here still believe in moral correctness .
And some are doing it because they believe in one political party or the other.

Gone are the days when i try to argue issues here on nairaland without insulting any tribe but one thing i noticed is that no igbo man on nairaland is ready to engage you in any debate.. They just want to insult and denigrate my tribe.

I'm a very conscious yoruba man and a proud one for that.. I have been banned severally for insulting back and i really don't care about those bans.

We will continue to compress the heads of flaat heads on this forum.

If insulting those who insult my tribe is seen as tribal bigotry then i want to be a tribalist.

Enough of moral correctness abeg.. Nigeria can never be united.. Make everybody sabi d name of em papa

You're the best bro!!!
How I wish these one Nigeria Igbos can learn from your unwavering loyalty to izoduwa

I'm a regular contributor of Otedo.com. You're very funny. that site is even very much in annexing Anioma up to Onitsha and Ogbaru. They call all the parts of Anioma Edo land. maybe you're blind to these and only being a typical igbo.

The intentions of the site owners is simply to resurrect the buried Edo empire... But my people and I would team up with Igbos across the Niger to ensure that the Bini is buried for eternity if they try that rubbish

ehikwe22:
You see, you shouldn't a word into another word simply because it makes more sense. History should be about what was, what is and never what ought to be. Besides, ehi is not from Igbo language why are you concerned about if it makes sense in Igbo language? There's nothing like ahi. It's ehi in Ika and ashi in Enuani. It's from Bini language and has the same meaning and significance in Ika Land. In all our myths, legends and fairy tales, after God, next is Ehi and Ogiso. Other very significant figures are olokun and Ojuwu the devil.

Bia ehikwe you and your ika Bini crew should stop going into a frenzy over Igbo issues.
The Igbo you're sweating about is a collection of dialects of which your ika is the westernmost(whether you believe ika is an Igbo dialect is actually your ish) while isobo is the easternmost...or can you point to somewhere in Nigeria and tell me that the people there are Igbos
Now am talking about standard Igbo... And the way its built is by borrowing from Igbo dialects for terms not generally used,which means if we've to come to ika and borrow a terminology, we'd do it. For example the Igbo for fortress iga was gotten from ika actually. And if that doesn't exist in any of the dialects, we simply borrow from a neighbouring tongue and Igbonize it or we agglutinate.
Yes...ehi was borrowed from Edo by the ika for use as guardian spirit and was transmitted unchanged to the enuani who changed it to ashi bkos they can't pronounce the "h" sound. But now we're going to borrow it and Igbonize it to "ahi" using our standardization rules and let it serve as our terminology for aura
So tell me ehikwe....where and where in Nigeria do you find the Igbos Gimme locations

RedboneSmith:
Esan has the 'ch' sound? I am just asking because I can't remember seeing 'ch' in an Esan word.

Edoid languages generally don't have the "ch" sound...I don't know if they lack "z" too but from my research the "ch" sound is the main difference btwn Edoid and Igboid languages.
Any Edoid language you see having "ch" for sure borrowed it from the nearest Igboid language around

ehikwe22:
Ashi is the Aniocha variant of ehi. Ehi is the main word here and it's unfair to make ashi the main subject .

Am actually working on a project that'd see "ahi" adapted into standard Igbo for use as aura....moreover "ahi" makes more sense pronunciation wise than "ehi" bkos the "i" sound is a deep one,and in standard Igbo "e" never goes with deep vowels

Is "eki" the ika for ring?

ConqueredWest:
Fratermathy, Aniomas are Biafrans

Urhobos are free to reject Biafra at the referendum.

ehikwe22:
Uya means suffering and anything negative in Anioma languages. Other Uya names include Ikponfinasoya literally means dustbin doesn't forbid bad things and ehichoya. Literally means God chase away my suffering and tribulations. Same name, same pronunciation and same meaning in Ika and Esan

Mmm...
Now thinking deeply this sounding similar to something more familiar

To Eastern Igbos in the house what does ure mean You know like they say uremma, urenna, adaure

Is it to say that uya means disgrace?

Can anyone explain to me what uya means

Olabestonic001:

The Charles ibekwe guy looks like a paid writer...and I didn't bother reading the trash he put up.
Concerning IPOB I think they need to reevaluate their maps... The Igbo state am looking at is one whose homogeneity is 99% Igbo, whose official language is standard Igbo and whose integrity would be defended by an Igbo army.

Even if we've to admit or give space to a non Igboid tribe to join us...the only one I'd support is the Igoni, not even the Mmoŋo or the Rukwo. They are the only ethnicity I'd support giving whatever benefits in order to have them join us. And unlike the Mmoŋo whose population run in millions(~4M) according to last estimate, the Igoni are just 500K in number and their territories connect us directly to our coastline at Igwenga.. Which means with railways from Igweocha and Afam,we can connect directly to eleme and bori onwards to our ports at ubani and opobo.
The other SS minorities claiming rubbish with Igbos should simply find their square root

NwaforIgbo:
Why is it that when an Igbo man speak ill of the Igbo race and dream, he is praised by the those of the otherside, but when an Igbo man support his fellow kinsmen, he is cursed and hated by those on the yonderside. It is simple Nigeria is a tribalistic state, that each regions only seek the advancement of its region alone and not the advancement of the other, that is why i hate to be called a Nigerian. I am a proud Igbo man.

That's what many one Nigerian Igbos fail to understand... That in Nigeria when you do something awkward and people from ethnicities known to be hostile to yours praise you, know that you need to retrace your steps

Nigeria never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity... General Ashki (900BC)
Shame on Nigeria!!!

kYjelly2:
I am from Delta state and if there is a referendum, I will vote twice for Biafra if I could.

I and my sister where just watching CNN and they were showing bokoharam, comparing Nigeria with Syria and other war torn countries, due to Islamic terrorists.

Imagine!!!

We were just like, so overnight, our Nigeria now became associated with the likes of Afghanistan

Abeg, better to be a drug dealer, than to be a terrorist, after all, alcohol is a drug and almost everyone uses it.

I will still say that once we get Biafra, we must be like Trump and restrict the growth of Islam. There is no need forming fake accommodation for a serpent that cannot be trained. One that cannot tell the difference between you and it's next meal

You're one of the few with insight

The real BIAFRA map in RED

Here's the real map

YelloweWest:
Where in rivers state??
Ikwerre or oyibo? Yes they migrated from igbo land but they don't want to be part of Biafra! That's a fact.

I'm from rivers state my grandmother is ikwerre. You dare not call an ikwerre man igbo. He will get angry

If biafra must come to be you people have to come to terms with your reality. You cannot force any tribe that is not willing to join you.

Akuko!
From your name you're kalabari...and I don't think we've any business with you

I've always said it...anything Edo being in Biāfra is a waste of our precious time. IPOB should as a matter of urgency remove chekri and sobo from its maps! Even the Rukwo should be considered for removal as well...we can't bkos of the Eastern Rukwo who are a bit accommodative of Igbos tie ourselves down with the Western Rukwo who despise us.
I don't particularly enjoy it when inconsequential tribes like the Chekri and the Sobo make noise before us

Stop repeating white man's lies.

Ekwensu was never an enemy of Chukwu.

Our Chukwu had no enemies. He's not the useless bible god fighting foolishly up and down..

Ekwensu is Igbo's God of war. If you go to war without Ekwensu, you are on your own. (E.g. 1967)

With Ekwensu on our side, the europeans never conquered us. So they painted Him as evil and we swallowed their lies and abandoned our Gods. Now we suffer.

Hao! Hao!! Hao!!!
Esu or ekwensu in full is the god of war. He is also required when you're in any form of struggle, like haggling or playing pranks.

Do you know if there's any shrine for ekwensu in Igboland so that I can go and give my offerings as a general?

Nzeogwu's greatest mistake was spearheading the coup of 1966...
Nigeria is a rotten state and his attempts to set it straight was what put us in our present state. That's why I don't particularly find it funny when an Igbo tries to be more Nigerian than Nigeria because that way of reasoning hasn't helped Igbos at all.
Igbos should always put Igboland first before Nigeria no matter the circumstances.. The other way round is just plain foolishness which our fathers paid for dearly.
God bless the empire of Igboland

fratermathy:
Hausas did not put the capital at Asaba. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida did! He did it because his wife was from Asaba. Let us learn to separate the stupid*ty of one person from the actions of an entire ethnic group.

Let me agree that Igbos were in no capacity to help any minority group for the sake of this argument. Let me also agree that the Igbos assist our people in the legislative arm (which I have no proof of). What exactly is the plan for the future? IPOB's plan for the future is highly utopic and filled with perfectionism. The realities are life are beyond the merry and the good. What are the plans that the said Biafra have in place to prevent the Urhobos and Itsekiris fighting over Warri tomorrow? What are the plans for the Ijaws who have been killing many Urhobos and Itsekiris over minor land squabbles and may continue doing so in the future?

Not that I need answers to the above questions. My point is simply that IPOB needs to recognise that minority politics is complicated and minorities have their own struggles which Igbos may not even relate to.

Kikikikikiki
The highlighted areas are quite interesting I must confess

Anyway that's why I insisted that the Igoni be the only minority group to be admitted into Biāfra kos they're the only group that have no baggage and their small population makes it easy to grant them concessions that'd not raise an eyebrow
As the Chekri/Sobo matter, the oba is in the best position to take care of that. You two are Edoid tribes so its in our best interests to let the Oba handle it. This is also one of the reasons am not particularly enthusiastic about having the Rukwo in Biāfra despite the fact that at least 40% of them have Igbo heritage is bkos if they're with us,they'd expect us to side them anywhere they look for trouble. I don't think our illustrious ancestor Igbo Ngidi himself would be glad seeing his sons fight on behalf of well-known troublemakers.

The Igoni are the only non Igboid group we can guarantee our benefits without them being a burden to us. The rest can always take care of themselves

fratermathy:
I have objections to Ogoni being added because they, too, have their own destiny in their hands but you have made sense! Ka Chineke gọzie gị maka na-ekwu eziokwu!

However, it is Urhobo, not Sobo. Itsekiri, not Chekri. I know you know the correct spellings but deliberately use the colonial and derogatory spellings. Adịghị anya maka nsogbu ebe ọ dighi onye.

O di mma na I ma Igbo asu
Anyway those names are what we call them in Igbo too...Igbo doesn't have "rh" and "ts" sounds so I know you'd always look the other way if I call it the Igbo way again.
Now coming to the Igoni... If you look I said for "expediency reasons" and not that its a fire by force matter.
Igboland already has a seaboard called Igwenga..but its separated from the rest of Igboland by the Mba Oli Iche which is the alternative name for the Igoni in Igbo. Igwenga is the strip of coast btwn Ubani river in the West and Imo river in the East.
Moreover granting the Igoni wide ranging autonomy on whatever they desire be it economy, culture or language won't be an issue for us,after all the Igoni are less than 500K in population.
So Broz... In as much as I support having the Igoni with us its still based on whether our people want the physical connection of the Igwenga exclave with the rest of Igboland. If our people are not that enthusiastic about having the Mba Oli we can always pay them for right of passage through their territory.
But come what may,the mba oli are the only non Igboid tribe I'd support to be in Biāfra. Aside that, the other tribes can always use the door

Dedetwo:
The only strategy in IPOB refused to employ and it strikes me with vexation is allegedly lack of conventional weapon. Mushroom groups or no groups, boundaries shall be determined through the muzzle of guns.
