just take this thread for example, who were the first folks to flood the thread with ur revised assumptions and chatting all sorts of nonsense? it was u igbo folks who are not from that community. infact non of u are from the general 'anioma' area.

Abagworo: You are quite wrong in your assumptions. There are words in Edo that sounds same with Igbo but different meanings. Igbos know that very well. The problem is revisionism and backing it with false claims. An example is Eze Chima which people are now saying is a corruption of Enogie Ikhime. I don't know how those two relate. Someone from Aboh opened a revisionist thread earlier but unfortunately for him Aboh unlike Ika had early contacts with Europeans and their history is not hidden.

there is nothing wrong in my assumption. there is no way u igbos will not say alaghodaro is not land of ghodaro as with the case of umunede. and the revisionism is actually from u igbo folks. when the people demselves tell their history the way the know it, it is u igbos who impose ur own revised history on them and try to force it down their throats. then later it is u same igbos that will start whining about self-determination and how every group shuld be given that right.

binis say 'alaghodaro' meaning 'the way forward'

so if they decide to name a land alaghodaro, u igbos from nnewi will come and say the prefix ala is ur igbo for land?

pazienza: Yea,am suprised that ika use "nde" instead of "ndi",cos i know that some igbo clans in imo state use "nde" too. And also,i personally know a family from enugu state that goes by the surname "ede", i guess "ede" is one of those names that ancient igbos answered before the advent of the chi names,it reminds me of the name "awa".

so this is the eye opening argument? keep fooling urself. the ede in question was not from enugu. u igbos can also attempt to rewrite it. and why won't ede be so ancient to u igbos that u don't know the meaning apart from calling him cocoyam? lol

the history of the people did not state that the historical figure 'ede' was from anambra or enugu...so i don't care about the recent igbo influence..i only care about the name umunede and i have broken it down in its various forms with meanings and it has nothing to do with children of cocoyam.

from children of cocoyam to children of ede? lol

'ede' as a word means day as can be seen in the name 'osayanede' meaning god owns the day.

so umunede can also mean carry the day.

ezeagu: Agbor people also write their name as Agbor and pronounce it that way, same as Owerri, Onitsha, Ibusa, and even Ogwashi even though the name is Ogwa Nshi..

bini people write their name as bini and pronounce it that way, so i dont see how that changes anything. and btw, why did u not offer the meaning of fall in ur igbo?

Your attempt at Bini-cising the Ika name of Umuede was a fail. Now you guys can move on with the thread

fail ke? ur attempt at digging a link to claim that it is written as umuede by the locals is what was a fail. what i did was the offer u the meaning of umunede and drive it into ur head how the locals pronounce it. now, u can take it and move on.

where did u get this from? christianmingle.com?

why does michelle's jaw look crooked?

answer: because of barack's bend diick

4. Be Aware of the Oriaku Syndrome: You have not heard of the Oriaku Syndrome? Don’t worry, I will tell you. You see, when you marry an Igbo woman, you work for her. Your glory comes from seeing her shine. When she steps out, people must SEE your money on her body. If your wife looks like the dried fish she uses in cooking your soup, you are not a man! If she’s dressed like something that was sent to Lagos along with discarded wares, you have failed in your duties! The Oriaku Syndrome posits that your wife is the chopper of your money, simple.

nothing wrong with that, she is ur wife afterall. who else is going to chop the bulk of ur money, apart from ur wife and children?

ezeagu: That would have passed my level if I hadn't know that the intonation of Umu in Umu-ede is exactly the same as umu meaning children in Ika-Umunede language. Umu ede is pronounced precisely with the high tone U, then m, low tone u, high tone e, d, low tone e. I would like to see an Umunede native argue this.

I've given you an example of indigenous people writing it Umu and ede in the link.

so it is me that do not know the intonation of umu-nede, a place where we always stopped for food stuff on our way to ogwashi as a child? the locals call it umu-ne-de

and in that ur same link, it is also written as umunede

'Sons and Daughters of Umunede'

By the way, carry in Ika language is bu, and fall is da.

actually fall in bini is 'de', that is why n'ede is not fall. what is fall in ur igbo?

So if it was carry and not fall my best translation would be Bunodakọ or something like that.

then start pushing for a name change of umunede and ikanize the name instead ruining the original meaning.

ezeagu: http://members.tripod.com/umu_ede/nde_umuede/index.album

édè is cocoyam. It seems I was a little incorrect, as far as one translation I've seen, and the n is for umu na ede, meaning 'People/children and cocoyam', but I suspect the na was added after it was spelt Umunede since the locals call is Umu-ede. This name is similar to Rumuji, I think, which I believe (not certain) means the people of yam in Rivers state.

the locals call it umu-nede not umu-ede.

n'ede means 'not fall' and umu means 'carry'. so umu-n'ede is 'carry and not fall'

just like ekpenede means 'leopard that does not fall' ekpen - leopard, n'ede - not fall

ezeagu: The correct name of Umunede is actually Umu édè.

no, the correct name is umunede which is a combination of two words umu n'ede meaning 'carry and not fall'

why is it not surprising that it is u igbos who never left the bushes of ngwa that always have something to say? u better start thanking lugard for bringing u out those bushes instead of always whining about him.

not too big on watches, but i love it when ladies wear 'boyfriend watch'. and i recently got a rose-gold michael kors watch mk8096 for my baby and she loves it.

dem igbos seem to be winning the war of whining, and as usual the yorubas are yielding ground. how the hell did an igbo man become commissioner in lagos state? igbos have benefitted from the so-called lugard's cage called nigeria than others, coz until the lugard created the cage, i do not know of any igbo presence in lagos. oh, apart from those that were being shipped off to the new world.

Awolowo died of self-administered rat poison, Abiola died of aboki-administered rat poison.

and oh, those are pure speculations by the way and not facts. but it is a fact that ojukwu fled the battlefield dressed in heels, skirt and a pink blouse.

ebere1712: Ojukwu died a king. With people from all over the world sending their respects and accolades. Awolowo died of self-administered rat poison, Abiola died of aboki-administered rat poison. Achebe is renowned and envied all over the world and beyond. You see these people lived very proud and accomplished lives. I hope that I can say the same for myself at some point. For a no use nincompoop like you to call them names speaks volumes of your mental state. Do yourself a favour, don't debate with your intellectual superior. You make yourself look even more foolish than you are.

ojukwu died a king from ur perspective, but if u ask someone else, they will say the opposite. achebe is renowned for mastering the queens english, but when it came time for him to use queens english to save his people, he failed woefully and the queen gave her support to aboki who can hardly string two english sentences together. so what was the use of achebe mastering the queens english? u dolts do not know what intelligence means.

btw, the face of awo is on the money u are spending. who wouldn't want that after death?

somalia5: this is much worse than i thought. i knew u were slaves but didnt kno ur entire view on life revolved around how u are viewed by whites

how generous coming from someone who trolls around with how both arabs and whites view them. abeed-nigger, ha ha ha ... only u!

so here is another picture, spot the nigger

https://stylecartel.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/liya-kebede-20061007-167149.jpg

somalia5: u must be very obsessed with somalis

ur desperate attempts to label us as one of u negroids is pitiful to say the least

groid, ok, ok, ok, u are not negroes but niggers. happy now?

and since u have decided to 'peacefully' bow out, could u just spot the negro in that picture on ur way out? that has nothing to do with ur arab imposed religion? or does it?

somalia5: as for somalis it doesnt matter what we worshipped. Islam was not forced on us

groid, that is the reason u will forever remain an abeed to the arabs and in the words of good ol' harriet tubman, lord bless her soul:

i freed a thousand abeed. i could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were abeed.

and while at it, lets play another game and this is a european one. from this picture, spot the negro.

https://cdni.condenast.co.uk/240x360/a_c/AElbaz_Iman_b.jpg

somalia5: u should learn history. u must be one of those afri centrics whose obsessed with somalis and discovered that we hate u negroids.

If u knew history u would kno that 95 percent of somalia is somali. we have one religion, one language, one culture. u would also kno we are the only african country named after an ethnicity. we along with ethiopia are the only country in africa to have our native language as the national language.

u should also know that their are less than 30,000 arabs in somalia.

and that no one overan our country, its the opposite no one has ever defeated us on battle. we kicked ethiopia, usa, u.n out of our country. we were also the first to use canoons in africa, also we controlled half of ethiopia, and still our people live in half the land that is ethiopia.


we are also homogenous and older than any other ethnic group.


everythiny u said is true about u negroids, self projection at its height

blah blah blah nigggord, answer the simple question and promote true somali culture and tradition for once instead promoting the one given to u by the arabs who overran u. what were u camel milking abeeds worshipping before u started bowing down to ur arab masters at least three times a day?

ezotik: oh, so they ran to somalia and u started worshipping their prophet mohammed? what were u camel milking abeeds worshipping before the arabs overran ur country?

btw, why did u dodge the bold?

somalia5: do u thing i care. My people refer to non horn africans in africa as black

we refer to the horn africa as cushitics which are an intermediarry between whites and blacks.


You must kno that niggggers is what whites called u when they owned u. again this has no point of refrence for me.

But as a slave i can see u call urself whatever ur white masters called u. and thus i kno why niggggger has some meanin to u since ur part of the world was the slave force for whites

and thats the same reason abeed has meaning to u, because u were the slaves of the arabs who overran ur country. years later u became slaves of the europeans who overran both u and the arabs who overran u, thats why nigger also has meaning to u. f*ck, even the ethiopians overran u. damn, ur pucci must be so sour by now because u have been overran by so many people who gave u cute pet names, u hopeless wh0re.

the arabs call u abeed
the europeans call u niggers
what do the ethiopians call u?
btw, i call u ovien ...fyi

somalia5: somalis are not considered black by anyone. we are refered to as somali and not black

this one was funny.

didn't u read what i culled from chimpout.com? hey, a dumbed down, diluted arab-caucasian wannabe like u should visit that site and mingle with the real caucasians so that u will learn what they consider u. but here is a hint... niggers.

somalia5: what a sad comeback


words have history and meanin behind them.

its like me callin u a pirate. that would have no meanin

but if u called me a pirate that would have some weight


the word abeee means slave. Look at history and u will see it was u negroids who were slaves to whites,arabs, somalis etc


now abeeed go learn history

the word abeed has no meaning in my vocab. so u learn ur history coz u were the abeed to the arabs.

somalia5: arabs ran to somalia to fleee persecution. thats how islam came to somalia

oh, so they ran to somalia and u started worshipping their prophet mohammed? what were u camel milking abeeds worshipping before the arabs overran ur country?
