God, why didn't you put me in a country that's poor but has sensible citizens? A full truckload of rice contains six hundred bags, therefore, five trucks contain three thousand bags. Is the population of Borno State three thousand people or the rice is going to be shared with cups? But even if the populace are three thousand, how long will a bag of rice last each of them when the problem will last forever?

They have emptied all the graves in their land and now engage in kill and harvest.

Anybody in Reno's shoes would behave as he is doing. Nine years in exile is not nine months. And now, the hope of returning is deeming every second.

The agbado lord haven't come to term with the difference between State politics and national politics.

When Glaxowelcome wanted to leave after evaluating Buhari's economic policies, Smithkline came on board claiming to be expert in navigating the Nigerian ogbanje economy. The two companies merged and that gave birth to Glaxosmithkline Later on, Becham joined them to form Glaxosmithklinebecham. Today, they announced their intent to japa. If the citizens are japaring why not a foreign company?

You failed to highlight how it reflects the situation in Igbo land as claimed.

I don't refute claims made by apc and their town criers anymore. What helps me do that is reality itself.

SE is always poorer than SW in the pages of newspapers and statistics chunned out people from the SW, but when that is matched with reality they feal offended.

Maybe there is no catholic in Yoruba land, or the op can not recollect the names of the Popes produced by the Yorubas. If none of these is the case then Yorubas are equally slaves to the Roman Catholic Church.

When I saw the freshness of the camp (both the wall and the floor) but saw no human footprint, I remembered the images from bursted camps in the north.

Apart from the gas plant, the rest will begin and end in the pages of newspapers

Everything depends on the ground on which the election is voided. If Tinubu is disqualified based on his criminal record or double normination then he will not recontest. If it is based on electoral malpractice, then, he might recontest.

A normal routine there

What do you mean by the most visitors?

The Ibrus were very powerful during the military eras. One was known as Alex while the other was Michael. Mike's wife was Cecilia, who owned and managed Oceanic Bank. The family also owned Oceanic Oil and Ibru depot where refined oil was offloaded. The depot is situated between coconut bus stop and mile 2. The family never owned Lagos, but together with Ogboru, commanded alot of respect then.

Hmmm Okija shrine comes to mind.

Okija shrine came to your mind as if this is the first or even the tenth time it is happening among your tribe by your tribe and for your tribe.
By the way, when was it told that a human ate his fellow at okija shrine or that one was used for money ritual or sacrifice there? Or must you conjure one up to wipe away your shame?

Igbos are not as vocal as other tribes in relation to the sit at home, yet they said they denied feeling it. How else is feeling it?

I'm beginning to believe Igbos are the cause reno's self exile

Different situations demand different sayings but it is always incomplete to dable into words of wisdom without mentioning the great man of the art. Below, I give that respect to him.

1, If a dwarf doesn't behave strangely children will mistake him for one of their mates.

2, Eneke nti oba said that since men have learnt how to shoot without missing, he too has learnt how to fly without perching.

CHINUA ACHEBE.

The problem is not the leaders but the led. Near those related to the politician and hear them glote that one of their own is in sit of power.

When tragedy strikes in Igboland every other tribe including Benues rejoice. When tragedy strikes in their land and Igbos lament, they say we poke nose in what does not concern us. My friend, it is time you learnt how to mind your own business.

Point of correction op, veneration of snakes is in some parts of Anambra State and not Nsukka.

Igboid:
He thinks Ezike people are like Ika, Ukwuani, Ikwerre and other co travelers who would play their games by denying Igbo and bashing Ndiigbo.

Don't mind him. We are proud of our tribe. I'm Igbo and would wish to remain one if reincarnation exists.

Achobaisiochu:
Exactly, many of us answer Igbo name and speak Igbo fluently but ethnically we are of Igala origin but due to proximity, acculturation, intermingle and intermarriage between we and Igbos we learnt and speak fluent Igbo language while maintaining our original language which is Igala.

Excluded Enugu Ezike from your migrant Igala people. The full name of the progenitor of Enugu Ezike people is Ezike Okoro Owoh Inyam. Neither the name Ezike nor Okoro has Igala origin, they are both Igbo. Ezike Okoro Owoh hailed from Igbo Ukwu, and it is believed he was buried at a place known as Okpu Uno Ezike within Igbo Ukwu. We are not Igalas.

FreeStuffsNG:
I think they are right to an extent but it does not change the fact that the President appointed him based on how eminently qualified Nigerian he is and he is from South East Igbo region of Nigeria.
His name is Ikechukwu and he is from Igbo-Eze North LGA, Enugu state which borders Benue and Kogi state but part of the Igala land before states demarcation.

They are probably the minority in South East and it's nice to know about them. I never really knew much about the Igala in South East and that they are so much in number and promised like that. If you now deduct their population all over South East from the population of Igbo, this further supports the reason why the population of Igbo is actually much smaller than even the minority population seen in the various data released so far.

In the facebook post above, his village is listed among Enugu villages that still take their authority from the paramount chief of the Igala. They speak Igbo and Igala but ethnically Igala.

The Igala in Enugu extend to as far as Nsukka the capital of Enugu state so therefore, a significant part of Enugu state is ethnically Igala but they are from the South East not from North Central.

God punish you for assigning me and my people to Igalla ethnic group. I am a son of of Enugu Ezike and I know our root

Tochj:
Thank God for MNK
He united All igbos dispersed by politics
Even igallas inside kogi are All our people
Let alone the one in Enugu
Yoruba are one with their own people in kwara and kogi but wants us to deny our own people.

Enugu Ezike is not Igalla, stop this nonsense narrative. I'm from there and we know our history, period.

Awesome! He is an ex-Boy and a Mathematician like the IG too. Very interesting.

Going by his place of origin in the profile then it's true that he is ethnically Igala but from the Igbo-dominated South East

I find it very interesting to know this Igala group exists in such prominent number with prominent people in the South East yet hardly are they mentioned or identified as Igala. So Igala are this many in Nigeria? This is their own time to rise as I expect them to get more appiontments from this administration so they can break free from the suppression by the other tribe(s) in South East.

Congratulations to you sir. Congratulations to the Igala. Congrats to the South East.


Please, for goodness' sake, Enugu Ezike is not Igalla people but Igbos. I'm from there and I know our history. Secondly, there is no Igalla community in Enugu Ezike. What happened is that our local government comprises of two communities which are Enugu Ezike and Ette Igbo. It is these Ette Igbo people who are Igallas by accent. They are in Enugu State because the Igallas in Kogi State regard them as not pure Igallas. The full name of Enugu Ezike is Ezike Okolo Owoh Inyam from Igbo Ukwu in the present day Anambra State. We were told that his ancestral home and place of burial is at a place known as Okpu Uno Ezike, in Igbo Ukwu, Anambra State. Thanks alot.

The op is not getting the type of response he desired. Let us call Igbos bad name so that he will sleep well tonight.

Commendable
