This is a great thread!

Normally, threads that reach this many pages are negative or tribalistic, but this thread has been very educational.

Nneka's music is from the heart. I can appreciate her alternative style like I do Wale, B.O.B. and all the other alternative artist.

Thank you RichyBlacK for those post.

The British took very good notes about the people of Nigeria.

Can't believed that they said that the Eastern Branch of the Igbo, probably the Aro, Abam and Ohafians are warlike.

Are you sure the Aro and Ibibio know there boundaries? Till this day, the Ibibio say that Arochukwu itself is stolen land!

ChinenyeN:
EzeUche, when you give your own hate-filled comments a rest, then we can talk.

Ha ha ha! I will be surrounded by you Ngwa this Friday and Saturday!

Hopefully I can find a nice Ngwa girlfriend at this convention. Ngwa ladies are pleasant on the eyes.

chyz,

That means you are coming to Baltimore. The plot thickens. I too shall be there. My Ngwa friends at College Park invited me to come in fellowship with them.

ChineneyeN,

Now I am begging you, can you give it a rest? We are not talking about the Ngwa or you in this matter!

I want to see more about the debates about the Delta Igbo and the Cross River Igbo (my kin)

Igbos born in Alaigbo do not even know where Igboland begins or end. I learned some new things as well about the Igbos found in Delta State.

My brother, Igboland will not be complete without the Delta Igbos. They are at least our financial arm. Think of Jim Ovia (Zenith Bank), Tony Elumelu (UBA), Pat Utomi(Bank PHB). They are very important.[/quote]Well let us not forget the part of Igboland that can feed all of Alaigbo. Northern Igboland is very fertile. We cannot forget about that.

And Southern Igboland gives us access to the sea for vital trade.

This beaf guy, you're miserable it seems not to mention ignorant and biased. The only thing you spew is satanic evil and divisiveness!! Get a life oh and believe it or not, your posts and comments will not influence or affect the outcome of a single election in Nigeria so continue wasting your time saying senseless bigoted rubbish.

I thought I was the only person who noticed that?

Anything that is Pro-Jonathan, he can be found giving so much praise, but when it comes to people disliking Jonathan, he insults us.

[quote author=komando. link=topic=500126.msg6683084#msg6683084 date=1283392303]I thank God for this thread because it will help Igbos everywhere gain a deeper perspective of what it means to be Igbo. Ndigbo who were born outside Alaigbo will even be very much educated about the special place by reading this thread.[/quote]We Igbos need to reclaim our destiny. This is what we need to do. The war really impacted us in many profound ways and this is causing problems for us.

If only you knew, Obiagu1, there has been only one discussion in which I have directly brought up the Ngwa issue. Since then, that topic, and my comments therein, have consistently been revisited by other Igbo; not by me.Now, my charges? I would like to know what it is that I have done wrong. I would like to know what exactly the council is accusing me of.

You said it with your own mouth: "ever since you talked about Ngwa(as a seperate ethnic group) Igbos have not been happy," right? You have been a member of this thread, and you are by now aware of what has been done to make Igboland smaller than it really is. For you to then try to carve out Ngwa again! Bros think about it now. That is too much. A na acho I dozi nke mebiri e mebi ozo a na achokwa I mebi. Mba nu. Translation(we are trying to fix the part of the cloth that has torn and another part is trying to tear). Please recognize that Ngwa is one of the biggest kingdoms within Igboland, nothing less, nothing more. Nya ga zie.[/quote]Gbam!

He thinks people do not understand him clearly, we understand him loud and clear and we do not like what he is saying. Does the boy think he is going to win over any supporters by the way he discusses the Ngwa as a separate entity. This man brings up Ngwa this and Ngwa that. What makes his clan so special that they deserve their own ethnicity? These people are not even mixed with other groups like the Aro or northern Igbo clans but we do not have the audacity to speak in such terms.

His words can only be taken with a grain of salt, because he never visited Alaigbo. Until he visits, or should I say live in Alaigbo, he cannot speak on behalf of anyone who resides in the East. When he should be coming here to learn, this guy is trying to put his opinion into something he knows nothing about.

No comment.

Why must this [b]ChinenyeN [/b]character always make a thread about himself? This thread is not about you, but the true boundaries of Igboland. Ngwaland is firmly amongst the term "core Igbos." Your ancestors came from Mbaise, you cannot just create a new group. That is why people are telling you to be quiet concerning the Ngwa, because any sane Ngwa would not separate himself from the wider Igbo. They may discuss separating from Abia State but that is it.

We are talking about the Igbo clans that are on the perifery such as the Ika, Ikwerre, the Igbos clans that are in Cross River and Benue State.

RichyBlacK:
I must say that I've learned a lot from all the posters so far. This is a unique thread in very many ways. Thank you.

So, let the education continue on "The True Extent of Alaigbo".

EzeUche, thanks for starting this beautiful thread!

Your welcome. Sometimes I am good for something.

However, I just get tired of these Igbo clans denying their roots. If they do not consider themselves Igbo even though they speak our language and share our culture, then they should be treated like enemies, because they would be the first to turn on the wider Igbo.

I am getting tired of these people denying their Igbo roots. If they don't want to be considered Igbo, the so be it.

Then they should stop using our language and name.

And they can go to hell. They should be treated like OSU.

I know his daughter and she looks decent. If only I could marry in that family!

Andrew Uweh,

My grandfather used to tell us stories about Abam Warriors. They were always happy to assist the Aro in procurring slaves. These men hunter others like a sport. Your article was not lying about that.

Our Igba ndu is still quite strong.

He has a nice house in Potomac, Maryland. And another nice house in Houston. Probably built them from looted funds.

If I was him, I would not even warn these people that I would be destroying there shacks. I would just demolish it with no regret. And then dare them to do something.

Not only do they need to defend they pay, maybe they should defend their lives since they have only cause misery to the Nigerian populace.

What?

The average Nigerian does not have time to be online.

I still do not appreciate how she was talking to my governor who means business.

The First Lady is not suppose to act like that.

No one wants to emulate you Yoruba.

Truth and justice my arse!

Backstabbing & Betrayal is the accurate words to describe the Yoruba nation.

There will never be another chance for IBB ,Its pay back time.

Not yet.

Goodluck has to get support from the Igbo and the North. Well we know the north is not supporting him so it is up to the Igbo.
