Can't get the same pleasure with a condom on when I am driving without a helmet.

It is very pleasurable so no need to wear a hat. Just do not date tramps.

I support Pat Utomi who is far superior to Jonathan. Does that make me stupid?

Then I should run.

I am Aro Igbo, Ibibio and Efik. And I speak Ikwerre.

Jonathan better tread carefully. These events are starting to resemble history! And we all know what follows.

Do or die politics! *smh*

Interesting turn of events!

BTW!!! Why was the thread moved? I see no reason so please kindly put it back where it belongs. Thank you.

I was wondering that as well. The main gist of this thread was about the TRUE EXTENT OF ALAIGBO. This is political in nature and has nothing to do with Racism, Tribalism, & Sectarianism.

I wondering why the mods waited to move this ground breaking thread. When have they ever moved a non tribalistic thread even though people may have some questionable post? Normally they clean up a thread, not move it entirely.

It is my opinion that any thread that gathers a lot of Igbos to congregate fears the powers that be.

vicknesh:
when will this ugly woman shut up

I wonder when you will shut up.

I feel bad for even mentioning my Anambra brothers. Not knowing that some clannish Igbos would destroy my thread!

Could this be a response to Friday's Quran burning in Florida?

Remember what these people did during the Danish Cartoon episode.

We Southerners must put rivalry aside and prepare for the worse. If you have family up North, make sure you get in contact with them.

Well who could blame the Emir from leaving? When you are dealing with radicals, even fellow Muslims are not safe.

I see that my thread was moved. Shame! It had a lot of good points.

Let us all calm down my Igbo brothers. Igbo bu Igbo! Remember that people. Clan rivalries will always exist. I see the Igbo clans of Anambra as my brothers. Remember that there are Aro communities present in Anambra State. I was simply discussing an observation. It is not out of jealousy that voice this opinion. It was a time in which we Aro once controlled the trade in Alaigbo, but those days are long over. Just calm down Onlytruth. You know I respect you very much.

And I give honor to the great people of Nnewi, Onitsha and Nri among others. However, the I will not sit here and act like people do not mock the Aro and say we are not true Igbos or we are half caste sons of Igbos and Ibibios.

Anyways it is IGBO FIRST AND FOREMOST. Even before my clan. That is why I want to get rid of these foolish lects. Let us follow the Owerri and Umuahia lect. I have no problem with this.

Keep in mind that these people are not Hausa-Fulani, they are Kanuri.

Nigeria army in Maiduguri after 'Boko Haram attacks'

The army is conducting joint patrols with the police in Nigeria's northern city of Maiduguri after a wave of killings blamed on the Islamist sect, Boko Haram.

The police have also banned riding motorcycles at night as several of the shootings were carried out by people on motorbikes.

Twelve people, including seven policemen, have died in the past month.

Clashes between Boko Haram and the police in July 2009 left hundreds dead.

The most recent shooting happened on Sunday, leaving two people dead, including a police officer.

Motorbikes are now banned from the city between 1800 and 0700.

"This is only the beginning," said Borno state police commissioner Ibrahim Abdu.

"If this strategy doesn't work, we will call for a total ban on motorcycles in the state," he said, reports the AFP news agency.

The violence started last year when Boko Haram members attacked a police station in Maiduguri before clashes spread to neighbouring areas.

Most of those who died were supporters of the sect, which is also known locally as the Taliban and wants to see Islamic law imposed across Nigeria.

It is opposed to Western education and accuses Nigeria's government of being corrupted by Western ideas.

The sect's leader, Mohammed Yusuf, was among those killed, apparently after he was handed over alive to the police.

ChinenyeN:
The 'Us vs Them' issue is very much real, especially in regards to the northern coalition (Anambra Igbo) vs everyone else. Anyone familiar would no doubt understand what is meant by the 'northerner complex'. They just seem to behave somehow, and people know what I mean by that. Then (although not so much pronounced) there is the southern sentiment toward northerners. The 'Us vs Them' mentality is also present between Aba/Old Bende districts. Not so much pronounced now, but still existent is the 'Us vs Them' mentality present in Ngwa in relation to general Igbo politics.

Establishing autonomous provinces and having a parliamentary system could help work against that, because it is much more in line with our nature, as opposed to the current arrangement that we have now.

I was agreeing with you on the 'Us vs Them' issue until you brought up the Abia division. There is no Igbo consensus against the Ngwa. Only Aba/Old Bende districts have a problem with each, but not as pronounced.

My problem sometimes occurs when the Anambra Igbos think they are the 'Core Igbos."

EzeUche, nnam bu onye Oka, nnem bulu onye Aro so I claim both.

You cannot claim both. It is either one on the other. I could claim Ikot Ekpene from my mother, but I don't. . .

Religion remains an opium to society. The less you know it's an opium, the more the effect on you.
I have seen fellow christians 'take their lives' based on bibilical understanding, the only difference with suicide bombers maybe that the muslims are engaged in a war effort. Neverthless, the principle is the same: taking one's own life with the hope for a better life in heaven.

As I said, I have not seen Christians blowing themselves up, because of their faith. The Bible preaches turn the other cheek.

Foolish thinking.

Doesn't Amaechi have Rotimi in his name make him Yoruba?

Funny how you react. If the name does not look like a Yoruba or Muslim name, then it must be Igbo. Foolish thinking. . .

udezue:
I am from Awka and I don't even understand what this silly fear of Anambra Igbo is all about. *hiss*
One minute I am defending the Aro and next I'm defending Awka-Anambra axis or whatever due to people and their unnecessary fear of other people's level of success.

Biko get like us or hush. One day another side of Igbo land will also rise and dominate more but I really don't get what the whole dominance thing is all about. Igbu wu Igbo to me so the success of the Nnewi is an Igbo success to me.

You have to pick Udezue!  Do you not answer your father's name? You are an Aro man. No claiming Anambra. Go to any marketplace in Alaigbo and it has been overran by our Anambra brethren.

And then many of our Anambra brethren consider themselves true Igbos! When I say I b Aro man, many other "Core Igbo" clans say we are not true Igbos.

Igbo bu Igbo, but that does not mean we do not have our rivalry.

Cause he is not Igbo if you are implying that. EWU

Like I said, our neighbors in the Southwest do not know about other groups in Naija. *smh*

And the only dominance I have noticed are from the Igbos of Anambra State. They are everywhere.

ezeagu,

You are right. What were the name of those two Igbo clans that were fighting recently? I heard it was over land issues.

I would be totally against this ticket.

How come all the tickets I am hearing only involve Non-Eastern people?

We Eastern people have plenty of highly educated individuals who can lead this nation out of this quagmire.

A radical christian is as dangerous as a radical muslim. No need for exteremism.

I would not go that far. How many radical Christians you see blowing themselves up?

Abagworo:
Alaigbo country may not work and Enugu town Igbo cannot be adopted by all Igbo.The Igbo spoken in Owerri and Umuahia is most popular but I will still not support imposition of this on other independent Igbo clans.The alaigbo country will remain a microcosm of Nigeria because many groups will be marginalised by the larger nri/isuama/awka coalition.the tiny groups like ndoki,asa,ehugbo etc. Might not be included in the scheme of things.

Btw there is no such thing as owerri or orlu dialect.owerri belongs to uratta dialect group while orlu is split between isu and orsu dialect groups.oguta belongs to ukwuani dialect group which majority is in delta state.aboh and ndoni have similarities with ukwuani.owerri is also not isuama.isuama is the area between orlu and nri.

Can you predict a future? Only God knows what will happen. I really hate when people act like they know the future.

Anything is better than this sorry state. And with your way of thinking, of course something would fail. Thank God the majority of Igbo do not think like you.

God knows what will happen in Nigeria if they do this event!

Remember what happened with the Mohammed Cartoons. Just imagine what some Muslim fanatics up North will do to Christians living in the North who have nothing to do with this act.
