And another truth is no Igbo was part of those configured Nigeria?
i don't believe that.

The only Nigeria Igbos joined in its formation is that of 1960 which was destroyed in the Biafran war of independence... The post 1970 Nigeria of which we're operating today has no Igbo input... And we're better off independent than being part of a failed entity

Chysler:
Late colonel NWAWO from igbanke in present day Edo state in the civil war documentary after the war said dt he was in Britain undergoing military training when the war broke out and had to be summoned back to Nigeria, on his arrival he was told to take soldiers and fight against Biafra but he refused asking them how can he fight his Brothers (igbos), he was imprisoned but was later released by Biafra soldiers wen they entered Benin and he fought on the side of Biafra. In the clip he maintained dt the Igbanke Pple are a sub or a dialect of Igbo Pple and therefore Igbo... Am proud of this man, He is one of the silent Hero's of Biafra!God rest his soul

The worst thing Ojukwu did was not retaining nwawo as leader of the invading army after nzeogwu the proposed leader died at nsuka.
Nwawo was a good officer...and am sure if he was the one that led the Midwest campaign, he'd have evicted Gowon from Lagos and turned the fortunes of the war around.
Brigadier Konrad Nwawo(1920-2013)

Chest beaters. If making empty threats make you happy, carry on

Chest gini...come and carry my ndokwa East to your Benin na make I see you

Lemme ring it into your blocked ears...ndokwa East and the other 8 Anioma LGs including igbanke in Edo are Igbo. No need even talking much...make time reach all these Bini boys una go hear am from us

Bro, so you did not see where the darcknet guy threatened that their women will poison Biafrans? You choose only to see what appeal to you. You did not see the damaging images the matthi guy kept posting here, aided by his cheerleaders? Why are you guys like this? I wish IPOB will stop this foolishness of including ND tribes in this movement. This shit is getting out of hand. Its just so disappointing.
I wish they can focus their energy on Igbos in the South South and forget ND tribes that will never see the real enemy but keep pointing fingers on Igbos. Left for me, no ND tribe, that is non-Igbo speaking should be included in this agenda.They should just be on their own, before we create another mini Nigeria.

menxer:
this is a slant on the igbos, that they can't produce someone fit to rule Nigeria?

i am not Igbo but that is an Insult.

That's the truth...Nigeria is configured in such a way that no Igbo can aspire to rule the country and we understand that perfectly, that's why we want independence from Nigeria where we'd be protected by our army and be ruled from Enugwu, our imperial capital.
He hasnt said anything new

pazienza:
If tomorrow Nkanu people starts promoting Nkanu as a language of its own and an independent ethnic nationality outside Igbos.

See how easy it would be for them to show the differences between Nkanu speech form and central Igbo, while hiding the obvious similarities between them and Ndiigbo.
They would even point out that the average Imo man would struggle to understand "Nkanu language" on first hearing.

With 5 LGAs, Nkanu have many sub dialects which can easily be promoted to dialects of "Nkanu language" while phantom origin stories of migration from Anywhere but Igboland will be hatched and promoted.

I na-atupuru ha onu?

Cire80:
This is how they always digress from topic. From you are not Ika to you are a recent immigrant because you have a Bini surname to you are favor99. The most ridiculous one is the recent migration due to Bini surname theorem. It shows they don't know nothing about Ika or our way of life and how we give names.

Guy no dey shame yourself here

And like everyone here has said...when the time come everyone that claims Bini in Anioma would be expelled back to Benin from where their ancestors fled from. You guys can't come and now be bigger than the owners of the land

Favor99:
You dont want the Edoid groups in your realm? Then why did IPOB add the Edoid groups from
Delta in your Biafran map? You guys have some imaginary map from the 15th century that has all the so called Biafran groups.
Delta State was part of the Benin kingdom. How on earth could they have been in your map.

You're saying what am saying... Aside Anioma IPOB should remove its eyes from anything in Delta state. In my view this is what ipob should be gunning for

Favor99:
Anioma's dont want you. Dont you hear them constantly yelling that their not Igbo. Why then do
you force yourself on them. They dont want you guys!

Anioma is made up of both the ika and the oru(am an oru myself). Anioma is Western Igboland and her people are Western Igbos... Any Edo who tries to touch either Ali Ika or Ali Oru would have his hand cut off!
If you believe we're Edo come and take us to Edo na make I see you... Anu ugboko!

The UN has joined in debunking the lies the Lagos-Ibadan expressway media houses feed us daily

This is an imbecilic diversion, as far as I'm concerned.

We are not discussing the phantom atrocities that Biafrans supposedly did in mid west. There have been several threads on that already on NL where those your falsehoods were debunked.

The issue on discuss is the massacre of Anioma people, by Edo people, because they know Aniomas are Igbo, but would today turn around to claim non existing relationship with same people they massacred for being Igbos!

Hope I have reformated you now.

So, can you please stay on topic?

You can invite "the slimy Afonja" who have been viewing this thread as a guest, like a vulture hovers around a fresh corpse, to come and help you out. Hehe!

Is it our intellectual hypocrite of the lowest kind?

mulattoclaroo:
no Edoid group would even want to be part of your Biafra pipe dream? If you're not sick in the head why bring up biafra issue in a topic or thread that's clearly not linked with anything biafra? Your obsession with the Binis and Edoid people would lead to the cause of your madness. Pls remove Edo people from your stupidity. Are Edo people begging to be part of your biafra? Are the Urhobos or the Isokos or ijaws or any other ethnic group in the SS begging to be part of biafra? Respect yourself mister. I thought Seun clearly stated that no talking about secession on nairaland? What is mynd44 doing about this nuisance?

What do I expect from a known hater of my people if not more hate
Like I said, no one wants your Edoid groups in our realm and its been made abundantly clear to you hater. Am not obsessed with them but rather I detest them for murdering my Anioma people in the Biafran war although there were no provocations.
I think the warning should go to your Benin people to leave Anioma alone to avoid catastrophic retributions that'd be reminiscent of the Mongol massacres

kropotkin2:
You are IPOB, an enemy of the state

But the same state declared IPOB legal

She has been used to pave someone's way to riches
Quite regretful

Doug07034780891:
I think that is the reason the original Igbo Bible is written in Onitsha Igbo language.

As for Igbo Bible, am drafting materials to write an Igbo bible whose language would be inclusive of all dialects especially the borderline dialects like izhi and ika but would still be contemporary in nature. Of course it'd be in standardized literary Igbo but the difference is that the names would be in their Hebrew format. For eg
Jesus would become Yeshua, Joseph (Yosef), Isaac (Yitschak), Moses (Moshe), Jacob (Yaakov), Isaiah (Yeshayahu) etc

OlaoChi:
I never claimed to be an english master, i simply noticed how hard it is for you to be coherent, especially in that last post jeez! get sense will you


here you are trying to question my status. you think everyone on nairaland brags like you, I don't need to give you a single detail of my life. You claim to be this and all that, yet it doesn't show in your use of words and attitude. you are a fake


And just to lecture you, omitting or substituting sounds( in this case 'h' as a few Yorubas do) is what they call ACCENT. Learn this today. The Americans have their accent, the Canadians have theirs, and so do the Edo




read it again!


oh my! You are one fvcked up individual. Since you know that anyone can join any party of their choice, why were you speaking ill of the yorubas who didn't support Jonathan, mind you, trash talking the opposition is basic politics, you should hold yourself accountable for the decisions you make, so if you almost hated jonathan and voted against him, that's your lot. Do not blame those who were simply doing their job, you go find a job.

another thing, it is clear that you are implying All yorubas did not support Jonathan, which i have to say you are damned foolish to think so, some of his most active supporters were Yorubas. And besides what did he do in the SW to deserve a massive SW support?
i have said i won't discuss politics with a total child brained novice but your idiocy on this matter is shocking. I'll stop here

Good for you, if you want to leave Nigeria, make a move. You can decide to rebuild your Bini kingdom, let's see how far that goes, or go with the Igbos they would love that, they wanted that as they invaded your land during the Biafra war. You think Igbos will take this nonsense yorubas have endured from you

We'd also support an independent Bini or should I say Edo kingdom which includes present Edo state and the non Anioma part of Delta state.
There's no space for any Edoid tribe in Biāfra... And as imperial Biāfra our border stops at abudu,anything West of abudu or obiarukwu would be left to the oba

Mekwen:
Will you SHUT your mouth? Even if he did not register with your meaningless group, he is already IBO after death do you then say you give his corpse to the Non IBO that you much see as an "Osu" ? Why not even prove to the world that you value yours & are together no matter what happens? and una say you want Biafra, how can you convince the world that same cannot happen to another Biafra even if he did not pay your due.Whether they pay dues or not, Hausa na Hausa, Yoruba na Yoruba.

Probz:
Believe what you want.

There's mutual intelligibility but the intonation makes it sound foreign. I didn't say it's not Igbo, it just doesn't sound it.

Guy...of all Igbo dialects, Onicha is the only non nasal one that's why speakers of Onicha tongue find it difficult to switch to other Igbo dialects bkos they can't nasalize.
Standard Igbo is based to a greater degree on Onicha dialect even though the format looks like the Owerre/Ohũhũ dialect.
Try and travel around...then you'd know there's nothing different about those Ika or Oru dialects

Cire80 has shown the world he's Bini... Pazienza if you remember that mgbejume guy was rejoicing that the Federal forces slaughtered Anioma in mass,same as this cire80 guy here.
Anyway, when the time comes we'd force all Bini descendants off Anioma territories back to Bini, even if your fathers came from ishan or sobo,you all are going back to Bini.
And if Bini itself doesn't take time, we'd send in Igbo colonists into Benin city itself and change its demographics over time.
Am a bit harsh...but attimes we need to be

Favor99:
Don't mind panziena. I am not cire80. I just couldn't bare to see how an op on another thread was impersonating my people and spreading lies so I created an account. Sorry, cire80 that you have to put up with all of this. Panziena is in denial. He believes or wants to believe that Ikas and ukwuani ndokwa are Igbo. They need to accept the facts that these are Edo people. Panziena knows that I am Esan, he's just in denial and doesn't want to believe that Edo's accept Anioma as our own

" Onye izhi ghu, no mbomu".

"Mbawa ine eme adikaghu kwa"

"Ohu nta ghu na anya"

"Ezhi ghu ekerughue"

I don't know how many Igbos that can interpret those sentences.



I love my Nkanu dialect! I rep Enugu South to the core. Speak and understand Nkanu dialects fluently.


I'd like to see non Nkanu Igbo people on this board try and interprete those Nkanu sentences I wrote. Hehe!

What does the term NKANU mean?
Is it the same as Akanu?

Cire80:
Just like every other of your brothers here you lack brain. The person I quoted knows the context of which I quoted him and any other reasonable person here understands as well. So run along

I'd run after you bro
Instead of you returning to Idu from where your ancestors fled from you're here trying to claim the land of the people who harbored them on their flight from Benin.
All these Benin land thieves no go kill me with laughter

Cire80:
I don't believe in the Ika 77% to Igbo because it's just an estimation. How exactly is anyone able to arrive at an accurate percentage? Just like every other academic research work, the findings are never accurate. Another researcher will come out with a different result tomorrow and which one will you take as accurate? But going by your analogy, so if we decide to use the 80% benchmark, Ika is a language of it's own? Don't forget Ika has two words for most words and they are mostly Edoid and Igboid. The Edoid words are more ancient and fastly going extinct. But that doesn't mean they're no longer Ika words.

Guy stop fooling yourself with this Igbophobia...I've the doc redbonesmith is quoting from and he's very correct.

Moreover from that document, it seems most Igbo dialects exclusive of Onicha are nasalized... Going from ika to ukwuani to ndele to ogba to owere to ohuhu/ngwa to æbriba to æhugbo to izi to udi. Only onicha doesn't show nasalization... As for ækpæyæ, that one dey a world of their own and they're the only people that'd say they're not Igbo and I'd agree.

Does anyone have an ækpæyæ dictionary in e-format??
Biko?

1. Can you provide evidence of Igbos threatening or murdering non Igbos who aspire for leadership positions in Igboland?

2. No Igbo man discriminates the other, online ramble by paid political sycophants from Anambra, Imo and Abia state do not in anyway represent Igbos.
Ebonyi person in the person of Chief Igariwey just stepped down as the president of pan Igbo apex organization called Ohanaeze Ndiigbo and Nwaeze Umahi the governor of Ebonyi is currently the leader of SE governors.

No nation is without minor sentiments between constituent clans, do the Orons not cry of Marginalization at the hands of Ibibios and Annangs? Did the Ibibios in Akwa Ibom not ruthlessly render Efiks in Cross river non oil producing, cuting down their allocation and rendering them incapable of paying off huge debts Donald duke incurred for the state by engaging in so many expensive white elephant projects, when they stripped Cross river of all her offshore oil wells in a bitter law court litigation? Where was the brotherly love?
Do the Sephardic Jews and the Ashkenazi Jews not have petty sentimental divisions yet all unite for common cause when Israel is under external threat?

3. How and when did the Igbos not treat "others" fairly?


4. Enugu made it into the top 100 resilient city in the world,if Enugu and the rest of SE are hellholes, what does that make your Akwa Ibom that non of your towns or cities are recognized by any international body, less than poohole?


5. How exactly do Igbos have the least performing Governors in the south?
Despite the meagre allocation to the region by the FG, the the SE is the least indebted region in the country and sit atop most developmental indices in Nigeria. The likes of Sullivan and Obi had been outstanding and Obiano and Nwaze are doing fine.
If we criticized the likes of T.A alot, it's because we have high standard, not because they performed worse than their counterparts in other parts of the country.


6. Finally, you have to tone down on this your hostility towards Ndiigbo, because you have no monopoly over them, don't think your denigrating posts towards Ndiigbo will go unreplied or unchallenged by Ndiigbo and your Akwa Ibom put under scrutiny, actions will always elicit reactions, and some of us are here to make sure such reactions are 100times more venomous that the action that elicited it.

Despite the dfact that I've Mmoŋo relatives,am just watching that guy in 4D...if he doesn't take time I'd rain down the fires of hell on his people

victorvezx:
[s]Lol, truth hurts. Please when did u carry out a referendum to ascertain ur fact that 40 million igbos really want to secede? Why are ur leaders and elders not interested in the fraudulent struggle? Revolutions are lead by the common man but secession is led by enlightened people because it's s serious matter that have to deal with international politics. All serious secessionist groups around the world are lead by their elders and generally accepted enlightened leaders, why is Ipob not doing so. Ur elders don't support it, ur representatives in the senate don't support it, Ipob don't even have a simple secretariat, what if u were given Biafra now, how will u start? U think u can do it without them ur elders and political leaders? As far as u guys are not united and as far as u guy don't have a generally accepted leader and party, There will be thousands of power hungry and greedy igbos like Nnamdi Kanu who are just waiting for Chaos so they can hijack the leadership in igboland. Surely, for u to get Biafra, u must past through them, and there is nothing Nnamdi Kanu can do about that[/s].

Enyi, uka gi a abawo ola

He represents the yarnings of 40 million Igbos worldwide and that of over 100million descendants of our great Igboland scattered all over Afrika, the US and the Caribbean.


40million igbos world-wide and 100million descendants of igbos scatered all over Afrika, the US and the Caribbean.

Liepods and figure fantasies.
Are these mentioned areas not part of world-wide ?
How did you get your fantambulous figures ?
Fact: Igbos have no descendants outside the shores of Nigeria.
You liars should rather stop building castles in the air or living in Fantasy islands that do not exist.
Your rabid penchant for land-grabbing leads you into claiming false spreads. It does you no good at the end of the day.

That's your own cup of tea bro!
Most of the Afro-Caribs have Igbo ancestry... People taken from our shores btwn 1600 and 1850 and their descendants is what populates the Caribbean islands and parts of the southern US eg Virginia
Igbos worldwide are 40million...adding these other people who are descendants of Igbo slaves exported to the Americas raises the figure to 100million.
Why am I even explaining all these to a hater like you
