Failings of Igbos in Nigeria?

Azikwe remains Nigeria's first president, Okocha and Kanu are Nigeria's greatest football talents Okonjo was so good that she was nominated for world bank president ,Chioma ajunwa the first Olympic gold medalist,Iheanacho? Keshi? Pepetua Nkwocha?

Where are Ikwerre equivalants of these?

Enugu is rated above PH in liveability .
www.nairaland.com/1304860/lagos-6-other-states-control

Take a look at the states that control the majority of Nigeria's cash flow and see the industry and ingeniuity of the Onitcha and Aba business men.

Achebe, Emeagwali, and Azikiwe are products of the greater Onitsha community that raised them. Some things are not just learnt in school, greatness is inborn, schools only bring them out?

Onitsha is ordinary, yet Anambra with Onitsha contribution has the highest cut off marks in unity school enrolement, ever heard of CKC and DMGS of Onitsha? Jee juo ese.

It takes a great intellectual capacity to create a functional market with great financial capacity as Onitsha market, arguably the biggest open market in West Africa, don't underate Onitsha traders, most of them are holders of Bsc,OND and HNDs, i have cousins there hustling,and they are not illiterates, Anambra has been second only to Imo in Jamb enrolement stats for years.

Your Ikwerre group has not fared better than Ndiigbo in the post civil war Nigeria, politically,economically,educationally or in any criteria of measurement of human development.

THAT IS A HARD ONE AT HOPEATHAND...HMMMM

Politics › Technology Is Helping To Curb Corruption, Says Jonathan by christopher123(op): 3:56pm On Feb 27, 2015

Nigerian president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has said unlike the assertion by some Nigerians that the federal government is handling corruption with kid glove, his administration has leveraged on technology to fight corruption.

Jonathan added that even though he believes in a system that must prevent people from corruption before you talk about enforcement; the present government has more people arrested and prosecuted than any of the previous governments.

“If you look at what we have done in the agriculture sector, we have stopped fertiliser corruption using the electronic wallet. Look at the payroll system, in December last year some departments of government couldn’t receive salaries, it was because people wanted to divert the money meant for salaries to pay other allowances and the system shut them off. So we are building a system that, even if a person wants to steal, he will not be able to steal,” he told Journalists during an interview at the State House in Marina, Lagos.

I THINK FACEBOOK WILL DO

Radoillo:
It is just not correct to imply that "Aboh" as a surname is a peculiarity of the 'Delta Igbo' and the Onitsha people. That name is a lot more widespread than you think. In some cases, admittedly, ( for example the riverain Anam communities in Anambra), the name is connected with Aboh, Delta State. The story is that these Anam communities being subjected to Aboh raids began giving their children names like Aboegbu (May Aboh not kill me) which, sometimes shortened as Aboh could survive as surnames today.

However, this etymology of 'Aboh' names does not apply in cases from the farther interior away from the Niger where Aboh exercised no influence. And I have encountered a fair number of 'Aboh' last names in this southeastern interior. (Note that 'Aboh' could also have a range of meanings in Igbo dialects, including 'basket'...so real argument cannot be made in support of the name being exclusively of Delta North origin.)

Is there the tiniest sliver of evidence that could be brought forward in support of the 'theory' that Aboh-Mbaise originated from Aboh in Delta? The dialects are worlds apart, the culture and the political organisation are very distinct. And most importantly, neither of the two communities have traditions of any contacts.

Traditions of the exploits of the Aboh Kingdom has been preserved. We know the people they had contacts with and influenced. Aboh-Mbaise was completely out of their field of operation.

I'll put the coincidence in name down to the fact that both Aboh and Aboh-Mbaise belong to the same linguistic community (Igbo/Igboid), and in a linguistic community it isn't strange if two unrelated places end up with the same name. (Cases in point: the various places with Agulu in their names scattered all over Enugu and Anambra; Nkwelle in Awka, Nkwelle-Ezunanka near Onitsha, Nkwerre in Imo State; Owerre/Owerri place names scattered all the way from Nsukka in northern Igboland to as far south as the Ngwa axis; etc etc.

I enjoy this matured discussion but I think that you will find this links and submissions valuable

Eri (c. 900 CE) is said to be the original legendary cultural head of the Nri-Igbo, a subgroup of the Igbo people. According to legends, Eri is said to come down from the sky, having been sent by God (Igbo: Chukwu). It is possible Eri may have migrated from the Igala area, settled, and established a community in the middle of Anambra river valley where he married two wives. The first wife, Nneamakụ, bore him five children. The first was Agulu, the founder of Aguleri, the second was Nri Ifikuanim, the founder of Umunri / Kingdom of Nri, followed by Nri Onugu, the founder of Igbariam and Ogbodulu, the founder of Amanuke. The fifth one was a daughter called Iguedo, who is said to have born the founders of Nteje, and Awkuzu, Ogbunike, Umuleri, Nando and Ogboli in Onitsha. As one of the children of Eri, Nri Ifikuanim migrated from Aguleri, which was and still is, the ancestral temple of the people, in search of a place of settlement. His second wife Oboli begot Ọnọja, the only son who founded the Igala Kingdom in Kogi State.[1]

Eri is the founder of the Umueri and Umunri clans, both of whom were some of the most influential and powerful dynasties of priests and diviners in Igboland and adjacent areas such as the Bini and Igala/Idoma areas. He and his children are responsible for the Igbo Ukwu sites, Four market days, Ozo/nze title systems, Igu alu, and other practices of the Igbo people and their neighbors.[2]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eri_(king)

The Marriage formed the basis of the link between Ogbunike and Onitsha, thus giving the historical background to the Igbo adage which says: “Afuzi Onicha, Ogbunike ewelu,” meaning in the absence of Onitsha, Ogbunike takes its turn. When therefore Eze Chima, a descendant of General Ado in his flight with others, first from Benin, then from Agbor, named his son Onitsha, in honour of their maternal ancestors, and established Onitsha Ugbo and Onitsha Olona and the entire Umu Ezechima being referred to as Onitsha Ado, the origin of nomenclature cannot therefore be in serious doubt.

Igbo-speaking peoples can be divided into five geographically based subcultures: northern Igbo, southern Igbo, western Igbo, eastern Igbo, and northeastern Igbo. Each of these five can be further divided into subgroups based on specific locations and names. The northern or Onitsha Igbo are divided into the Nri-Awka of Onitsha and Awka; the Enugu of Nsukka, Udì, Awgu, and Okigwe; and those of the Onitsha town. The southern or Owerri Igbo are divided into the Isu-Ama of Okigwe, Orlu, and Owerri; the Oratta-Ikwerri of Owerri and Ahoada; the Ohuhu-Ngwa of Aba and Bende; and the Isu-Item of Bende and Okigwe. The western Igbo (Ndi Anioma, as they like to call themselves) are divided into the northern Ika of Ogwashi Uku and Agbor; the southern Ika or Kwale of Kwale; and the Riverrain of Ogwashi Uku, Onitsha, Owerri, and Ahoada. The eastern or Cross River Igbo are divided into the Ada (or Edda) of Afikpo, the Abam-Ohaffia of Bende and Okigwe, and the Aro of Aro. The northeastern Igbo include the Ogu Uku of Abakaliki and Afikpo.

During the period AD 900 and 1911, many Nri officials and agents had established settlements and kingdoms far and wide in Igbo land. For example, by AD 1000 Nri Kingdoms were established at Oreri and later at Nnewi, followed by the founding of Orafite. By 1400, the Owa, Ute and Abavo Kingdoms for Nri extraction had been established in the Western Flank of the Igbo culture area: By 1400 and 1700, the Nri_Ogboli clans have spread into secondary Nri lineages migrating to Atuma, Akwukwu-Igbo and Abala, Ukuaru, Okpanam, Asaba, Illah and Ichi. Other Nri settlements established during the various reigns of Eze-Nri were in areas around Nnewi, Orlu, Isu-Njaba, Okigwe, Nsukka, and parts of Southern and Northern Igbo. Over 100 Nri settlements have been located in the present Igbo culture area and some outside the present Igbo culture area. All had one function: spreading Nri political-ritual ideology through the control markets, peace, shrines, leadership and elite symbol of Ozo/Eze title.

Nri levitical laws and rituals abhor the spilling of human blood o

The war of succession from lduu Kingdom was initiated by the Oba of Benin known in lgbo historical literature as Agha lduu na Oba. (war of the lduu and Oba). It was a protracted war that touched most lgbo areas. It was intensified when the Benins acquired arms from the Portuguese. Then followed the war of secession of lgala initiated by the Atta. General Ogbe the son of Ajide attacked him at ldah, and was supported by General Udenze who controlled the Anam riverine area. Onoja Nwoboli left Aguleri and joined the lgalas because he was one of the remnants of the lgala descendants still at their Aguleri ancestral home.

Bro, there is no doubt that Onitsha has kinship ties with the Umuezechime clan in Delta.

(Umuezechime in Delta includes some communities in Aniocha North: Isele-uku, Isele-Azagba, Isele-Mkpitime, Onicha-Ugbo, Onicha-Olona, etc)

I am not doubting that, that is an established fact that there is an ezechima clan in onitsha but not all the onitsha clan is from ezechima, that is what i want you to understand

Many online experts and social media enthusiasts blame Jonathan’s handlers. Wikipedia contents could be edited and if the owners won’t have the materials edited; “competent handlers of his online image would have insisted that the entire material be yanked off”, said Johnson Oladele in Lagos. Oladele runs an online think-tank and opinion site. “This is what the world knows about President Goodluck Jonathan; this is what the world knows of our country,” said Lateef Adebisi, an online enthusiast.

Brethren,

This is a desperate and urgent call from the throne of Grace that the brethren in Christ are about to make the greatest error of their lives by selling off their kingly heritage for a mess of pottage called "change". Change into what? Change into what happened to Egypt , Sudan, Lybia, Algeria and Turkey which were once flourishing Christian countries but because the brethren there also sold their souls on the premise of "it does not matter" they became the last set of Christians in those countries! Remember Turkey! It was the beautiful Christian country called Constantinople! Today it is history!

The foundation of the planned islamisation of Nigeria was taken in 1989 in Abuja by OIC. Since then they have not looked back! Our Government gave them a contribution of 21 billion dollars then! Wonder then where the funding of boko Haram is coming from? They have painfully now infiltrated one of the biggest denominations in Nigeria and offered one of their best Pastors -a Professor,a Vice presidential Slot! Now a larger community of that denomination now promotes this "change"! They did it in Constantinople ! Remember brethren, that the biggest denomination of Christians in the North - the EYN has been wiped off! All their churches burnt. You may say that it is the North it can't get here! They said the same thing in Sudan, Libya, Algeria and Constantinople! How come the brethren have become so dulled in the Spirit that they no longer are sensitive?
We may be the last Christians in Nigeria if this grave error the brethren is about to commit is not averted! Our Lord Jesus is greatly miffed by our irresponsibility as His Followers! How come we no longer hear Him! The Great shepherd of the Sheep! How come that Christians have forgotten that this country was made ungovernable by these same people and Christians are holding the wrong person responsible? How come? The signs of the eventual Islamization of Nigeria are awash in the 1999 constitution where Islam, Sharia are mentioned more than 100 times.! Not a single mention of Christ or Christianity! You say it does not matter. Now, mark it you cannot amend the constitution without a bitter progrom!

Brethren, the night is here! We must contend for the faith and our heritage which was handed once and for all to us by our maker!

Don't relent, sound this trumpet by forwarding same to all your contacts! We will not be the last Christians in Nigeria! Amen.
