Lets hope it was a random act of robbery.

I kind of always thought it made more sense to learn your own people's tongue before the general Igbo, because I hear it can be difficult going from general Igbo to a peculiar tongue, as opposed to the other way around where one's lect simply needs to be 'watered down' (some more than others) before you get that general Igbo taste. Then again, I may be wrong, seeing as to how I find it difficult to go from my own to the general Igbo. meh.

ekt_bear:
Which LGAs in Benue are primarily Igbo?

ekt_bear:
What do you mean, "mixed with Igbo"?

Many Idoma are of Igbo descent. . . ? Intermarriage? What?

Are there any LGAs in Benue where Igbo is the primary language, for example?

[size=15pt]South East CPC disowns Buhari[/size]
•Says presidential election was not rigged in the zone

From GEOFFREY ANYANWU, Awka

Saturday, April 23, 2011

The controversy trailing the last presidential election took another dimension yesterday when members of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) disowned the party’s standard-bearer, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. They said that the election was the freest ever conducted in Nigeria.

After the results of the presidential election were announced, Buhari had rejected results in the South East, claiming that the election was massively rigged against him and the party in South East.

Speaking in Awka, Anambra State capital, chairmen of the party in the five states of the South East, stated: “In all fairness, we wish to state very clearly that the 2011 presidential election was the freest and fairest election ever conducted in Nigeria, though not without minor hitches.”

The chairmen disclosed that the colossal failure of the party in the zone was rather a product of internal wrangling that rocked the party few days to the election than the alleged rigging.

In a six-paragraph communiqué entitled, South East CPC Confirms Presidential Election Free, Fair and Credible, read on their behalf by the Anambra State chairman of the party, Prince Chuba Ikeagwu, the CPC chiefs frowned at the assertion by the leader of the party without verifying from them.

The communiqué read in part: “The South East members of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) received with surprise the news that the just-concluded presidential election was rigged against our party in our zone. In all fairness, we wish to state very clearly that the 2011 presidential election was the freest and fairest election ever conducted in Nigeria, though not without minor hitches.

“As custodians of the party in the zone, we were embarrassed to hear that the CPC was rigged out in the just presidential polls in the South East. It’s an indictment on our commitment to our party. Facts should have been verified from the leadership of the party in the zone by whoever is concerned before making an official statement on issues that affect us.

“Our position is not meant to slight or embarrass anybody but to straighten out issues and appeal to those who chose to truncate facts that are capable of creating disaffection among the peace loving Nigerians to desist forthwith. We are neither deaf nor dumb and were in the best position to present issues as they occurred.”

its time massob organized themselves secretely in the north so that in such event they can take proper action. they should start operating like a secret security service for the igbos/efik/ibibio and other easterners since they are no longer serious with the biafra stuff they need to engage themselves with current situations in nigeria.

For me its simple. Dont blame the Almajari (homeless/beggers etc). They are a Product of the (knowing) faliure of Naija leadership (PDP). Blame PDP with ther $1000 suits. SMH.

Buhari didnt order no riots, it was spontaneous. And of course I condem all violence targetted at the minortites in the North.
