Did the British create America?

aguiyi:
were you expecting us to adore Obama and his satanism yet we christians and the children of light?

[...]

Buhari openly supported the freedom of Palestinians who are violently attacking the Israelis and should be made to know what it also means for biafrans.

Dbboy:

McCarlito:
That's a motivation.... Whenever u feel like giving up... Always remember... Ur life is another persons prayer point

carnegiefan:
The name really doesn't matter. What matters is that it is NOT Aligbo because there is not much to be proud of about being Igbo today.
Our people are viciously SELFISH, SELF-CENTERED, GREEDY, and mindlessly craven.
You see them working very hard to destroy their brothers out of jealousy and st.eewpid wickedness.
Your success as a person elicites very bad reaction from your own relatives, acquaintances and friends as if you caused their failures (or whatever is their problem).
I'm not proud of being Igbo; but I'm very proud being BIAFRAN.
Even Nnamdi Kanu noticed the same issues and made the same conclusion.

LordNicvuitton:
Op don't forget that we have 2 raise d standard of delta airport & build a seaport at onitsha.. these will solidify import/export in d delta-anambra axis & uplift economic activities in Asaba/Onitsha/Nnewi axis.. It's achieveable! I love our brothers across the divide & no matter d propaganda they manufacture, we will always be one..

Rossikk:
Greed for oil. Nothing else. He wanted to control the oil fields all by himself, and used the Igbos as his excuse. Just as Nnamdi Kanu is doing today. Igbos are too blinded by tribalism to realize they're being used. Ojukwu fled to Ivory Coast once things got shaky. Nnamdi Kanu has already fled to London before the war has even started. The Igbo masses that will die in their new war have no such travel choices.

Rossikk:
Oh fck off and go buy more cutlasses for your new war. Brainless he-goat.

tonychristopher:
Ezeagu has shown gross stupidity ...unlike him I just don't know why he is going leftist .....

Not all ikwere are OK with that benin fable
Just like the ijebu seeing oduduwa tale as a scam
Not all Igbo are believers bof jewish ties

So ezeagu buy a chill pill biko

Chiwude:
No, I'm not irritated by your response to Cheruv. I'm irritated because you do not know the true boundary of Igboland. To be honest, you're an authority in SE Igbo culture, arts and customs. And I must confess it was through most of your captivating articles in the culture section that I picked the interest to join this site. But when it comes to our SS Igbo brothers you tend to pretend as if they don't exist. In many articles I've watched you write, I have seen a consistent mockery and disrespect to them identifying as Igbos. You're quick (maybe ignorantly) to join other non-Igbos to rebuke their Igbo links. If you're not posting an article confirming a one-sided Benin connection, you're either drawing a map detaching them completely out from the Igbo nation. The Asaba incident cannot be forgiven. Even the Anioma dudes in that thread are still spell shocked to what you drew.
Ezeagu you are a respected personality here. As an authority in nairaland, anything you say is seen as objective and the truth. Even when you're wrong people find it difficult to detect. This is why, I say you should stick to your culture article and stop this attempt at diving the Igbo nation further with your recent poke nosing in partizan issues. Udo

Xpaz:
guy stop comming here to post nonsense

Chiwude:
You're getting on my nerves Ezeagu. Face your sculpture work and leave this matter for enlightened intellectuals to deliberate. So rushing out to display your ignorance without being called.

vicenzo:
Where did you get the idea that Ikwerres would rather be with Ijaws than with Ndiigbo?

They are already part of Ohanaeze Ndiigbo, I don't see any of them attending Ijaw cultural meetings.

They have tested Ijaw domination in old Rivers state, so I guess they have a pretty much idea of what to expect in an Ijaw dominated Niger delta republic.

They must stay with us, we will do all that is necessary to make Biafra attractive to them, even if it means signing UN supervised treaties that will ensure their total autonomy within the Biafran entity, something like Taiwan and China.

As for Opobo, it remains the family estate of the Jajas, the Ijaws there has no say in the matter, only the Jajas will determine the fate of Opobo.

cheruv:
This is what I keep telling dovish Igbos like ezeagu that we'd not accept any part of SS Igboland be it ikwerre or opobo or even Anioma from being kept out of future Igboland in the name of a phantom SS

cheruv:
Though your map is good,permit if I may criticize your map a bit
1]the Igwenga coastline is absent. I wonder how the Great King Jaja would feel if his people the Igbos left his descendants behind. Igwenga(opobo, andoni and bonny island) are Igbos and nothing can change that.
2]the Western bank of river Cross starting from its confluence with Aloma to its bend at Arochukwu belongs to Igboland. In your map,only afikpo has direct boundary with the river while the upper aspect which is present day Abi LG of CRS isn't represented

Pls,make appropriate changes to reflect the data you missed out together with their projected economic potentials.
See maps of pre 66 eastern Nigeria( I couldn't find maps of the East central state created by Gowon as it better explains my points

ChinenyeN:
Honestly, with the way Igbo people treat "Igbo language", I have reservations about sending my children to a school to be taught math and science in Igbo. From my observation, Igbo people seem to struggle in reconciling Igbo with other languages (I'll use English as a benchmark from here on in). This struggle causes me to believe that a school that provides instruction in Igbo will attempt to default toward mirroring instruction in English even down to terminology and almost with a one-for-one correlation. As I see it, that simply is not the same as teaching children to think about math and sciences in Igbo.

However, it's not to say that instruction in Igbo is not doable. In my opinion, it is more that doable. In fact, that's what we're doing in our own household, albeit with Ngwa. My siblings and little cousins like math and sciences, and they expressed a desire to want to talk about math and sciences in Ngwa. Not for any serious reasons, but simply because they believed it would be cool. Of course, we already knew that Ngwa as it is doesn't have all the necessary lexicon for modern math and sciences, but we decided that we'd move forward anyway and just coin new lexicon as was necessary. It hasn't proven all that difficult, actually. Ngwa already has a recognizable pattern for conjugation and word creation as well as a useful syntax that we could capitalize for arithmetic. So, we simply did. We still have a ways to go, but it's more than doable.

Finally, the most significant thing, in my opinion, is that we avoided transliterations when coining new lexicon (i.e. no one-to-one correlation between Ngwa and English equivalents). Again, that wasn't all that difficult. But, I can't say the same for Igbo instruction. If my observations are anything to go by, transliterations are where Igbo people will ultimately screw up in their attempt to provide instruction in Igbo language.

It just makes me feel that my children (whenever I have any) would be better off learning math and sciences at home in their native Ngwa as opposed to going to a school to be taught math and science in Igbo.
