An Aboh man is best referred to as Aboh, or Ndo-Osimili if u want a broader grouping that would include the people of the lower banks of the Niger. We just call ourselves Aboh and nothing else

kk no wahala. Ave heard u

clefstone:
of course the Aboh language is an Igbo dialect and is therefore mutually intelligible with your Anambra dialect. However, a people's ethnicity transcends language sometimes, that is the case of the Abohs and surrounding people. Do you know there are Aboh Igbos, who r a minority settler group in Aboh. Visit Aboh and clear your doubts

really. So what ethnic can we call aboh people?

Ngozi123:
Exactly. Igbo bu igbo so all of these divisions are unnecessary.

nwa nnem nwanyi see am ooo. The igbos is solidly behind them for their anioma state. First of all. They should rally the deltaners and carve igbanke and other igbo group out of edo and starts talking about anioma state. If we see they are serious. We will help them

Afam4eva:
I can understand Ogbaru being referred to as Enuani stock but Anioma on the other hand is an artificial creation which is an acronym of all the Igbo speaking parts of Delta state. Some people are beginning to make Anioma seem like an ancient civilization of some sort which is not true.

tell them. Anioma heritage. How many se ave been claiming Kins over there.

Ngozi123:
Exactly. It's simply a political construction, just like Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi etc. I don't care about these states as they were designed to facilitate the oppression and marginalization of Igbos. I really don't understand why some Igbos take pride in them.

anioma is just an acronym. We are all igbos. Just as u said itz a case of reverse migration. Some from se to there. Some from there to SE and on and on it goes.

ariesbull:
LoL


Who would sing it
Who would endorse it



You see their attitude is coming to haunt them, don't worry the herdsmen would remind them and the non Igbo of Delta would notify them who they are

They should ask Ikwerre in Rivers how the ijaw see them

hunter land igbos.

ariesbull:
DO YOU KNOW THAT UP TILL NOW NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD HOW ONITSHA AND OTHER VILLAGES THAT THEY ARE CLAIMING TO BE ANIOMA (ACRONYM) CAME ABOUT


so much for lies and propaganda...let them tell us how they are member of their anioma or are they now the land grabbers we are talking about

lol. Don't mind them. But to some bini wana be won't feel ashame to ride on our igbonese to one appointment like dat and will reject it when the going gets bad. Is it not hypocrisy... If u are bini be bini. Be proud of it. Not am bini. Sorry am ika. Abeg delta igbo. No i mean edo igbo. Bini igbo. Migrational igbo. Mistakenly speaking igbo language bini people. Abeg make dem stay there

ariesbull:
The whole thing tire me...they have refused to tell us what qualifies a community in the East as Anioma...this is madness and stupidity....I have been waiting for answers but none


Anioma is acronym and no community in east was and is part of that tag

let them continue. Pazienza jst said the truth.
Itz high time we stop playing emotional politics. One luv to my enuani and oshimili brodas and some other people. And for bini wannabes itz high time they stop riding on our igbonese to achieve their aim. People like rotimi amaechi
. And co

ariesbull:
Now you are making sense because one anioma.ksmt a tribe but an acronym two there is no yardstick for calling a community in east anioma because they are not part of that acronym

tell them. Anioma was jst a name coined out nothing else. Afta their failure to grab Lagos. They turned east

ariesbull:
So are you Igbo ?

proudly igbo. Am jst trying to tell them. That they are not the only people that sojourned in people land and got mixed. I was jst making a reference to it. Nkporos don't ave identity crisis

We ave counted some of them out... Let the people that wana go leave and let the stay in Nigeria and wallow in ignorance

Lajet:
Honstely speaking i don't know what is wrong with IPOB And Massob .this people have said it so many times that they are not part of Biafra still yet the keep on including them in biafra map even including some Northern state . I'm very ashamed any time this small group keep on insulting igbos because of this rubbish IPOB and Massob are doing. Majority of Igbos are in support of Biafra that will only include only Igbos in South East, South South and Middle belt. Not this Mini Nigeria IPOB and Massob are planning. It's high time the should call IPOB and Massob to order this disgraceful act must stop Enough is Enough

the high time they know it the better

TODAY, IT WILL BE DECIDED BY FIRE POWER, IF THEY VENTURE INTO AN INCH OF ANY IGBO AREA.

WE KNOW DEY ARE HUNGRY TO STEAL BOTH PEOPLE AND LAND, WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THAT.

beautiful. If they believe that there Kins are in se. Y is it that it is hard for them to believe also that they are igbo.

Beautiful piece by pazienza. Thank you

I am from amakwu. Ama akwu because my village ave a lot of palm-tree but we are the ndi agbor . I think four village together and our Kins in the hilly side we called them ndi elu and we are the people that make up the great ancient nkporo kingdom. Even though we are influenced by some ibibio cultures cos we once lived side by side till we fought them and they baptized us nkporo. Which is an ibibio word that means Buffalo

that's what am talking about. They should continue it in there location. But if they enter se. We won't take it likely with us. In my village do u knw that we ave two sections of people. There are villages we call ndagbor.. Iyz jst olilo udaume. The name is ndi Agbor and in return the Agbor call the people in the upper side ndelu which means ndi elu in my hometown and guess where we migrated from. Ohafia. Edah and nkporo as history stated came from the bini axis. They are jst ignorant. Y do u think the etches in se didn't join their kin in river. Cos they couldn't reject their igbo heritage

hammer6F:
WE WILL SOON CLAIM BENIN AS IGBO LAND.

TURN THE PRESENT OCCUPANT TO REFUGEE AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FROM ITALY.

DEY HERE DEY TALK ANIOMA.

do u knw that the ohafia people once lived in the bini axis. They fled binin because of quarrels with the oba who perceived them getting stronger cos they where mercenaries. They migrated to andoni in rivers state and from there to their location in abia state. Do u know that andoni dialect sound like ohafia dialect

Emycord:
ASK Your Friend Who Wanted An Agreement Signed Before Fellow Igbo Can Be Called Igbo's I wonder What Will Be Written In The Agreement
" We The People Of Anioma Do solemnly Declare That henceforth We Are Igbo" Bla Bla Bla
cc Se
Cc Ss
Cc Sw
Cc Nigeria
Cc African Union
Cc United Nations
And The General Public Should Take Note We Had To Sign This Mou So We Can John Our Brothers In The South East Region

. Oga it is not about being igbo. Itz about joining the south east

prolog2:
Yet it is Benin art that is in every European national museum and even in the USA!? Yet the same brits and all their fellow Europeans testify to Benin being great. The Portuguese even coined the word city for the capital of Benin Kingdom. The brits testify that Benin Kingdom gave them a run for their money. And they also testify that once Benin fell, the rest was a walk in the park. The superpower of the region was Benin Kingdom

really? What about ekumeku that lasted for thirty years. Stiff resistance from the igbos. Didn't we give them hell. Swerve

I support pazienza in his course. They must sign an agreement. We are tired of emotional politics. They forget ohafia. Edah
Item. Nkporo migrated the same time out from the binin axis. To their present location in abia state.

BabaRamota1980:
Do you know why its called Igbo coup?

You think because they spoke Igbo. Noooo! We already know they are not Igbo by origin.

Its called Igbo coup because only Igbo leaders were exempted from assassination.

Yinmu!

baba u are a fool. Get off my mention

The coup in question was committed to by kaduna nzeogwu who is from delta state. Ifeajuna delta state. Nonsense it should ave been written bini coup

Let them continue denying themselves. Xpecially ika

Ozubulu who. They are proudly igbos. This aniomas ave a way of reversing their history... Some okpanam people came from oba. Lots of them. Some of our people migrated over to delta state. They claim we colonized them. How did they end up speaking a dialect of igbo language which other igbos don't speak. The bini ave been claiming lag for long and there are signs that they once lived there. Check some yoruba monarch dressing. U will see that it has deep edo influence but they are yoruba.

Ogoja. Pls are they igbos. The people i knw that are igbos are. Isobo in akwaibom. Or are they in ogoja local government

Odingo1:
Many of them don't want to be called Igbos like Oliseh and co.

yes but also they will make u turn and claim igbonese when goodies come their way but if the going gets tough they will reject it. Who are they fooling? Hausa fulani or who

selemempe:
the point of the thread is for se leaders to help anioma state under the agreement that they would join se.

Do u now understand?

it is not us that will present it to you but itx left for them to come meet us

pazienza:
The Anioma part should be removed and replaced with any of the other 6 you listed, if their stakeholders won't guarantee the transfer of the new state to SE.

We won't be shortchanged ever again in Nigeria.
The era of allowing opportunists exploit our emotional politics, must end.

yes my broda. I concur

pazienza:
They wouldn't get Anioma without our support.

Let's analyze it.

The Ijaws want Oil Rivers state
And the Ogojas want Ogoja state.

Anioma would have to contend with those two groups in SS for a single slot.

Our support would not come for free, as no one ever gives Ndiigbo free support in Nigeria, so it's about time we started doing same.

If Anioma want our support, then they must cross over to SE. If they don't want, then they should go try their luck against Ogojas and Ijaws.

It's very simple.

now we are talking. Chai people like you is what we need here. The se ain't gonna frustrate anioma state. It is fellow ss that will try to frustrate it. Xpecially ijaw and what about ogoni who want a state also. The itssekiri also need state that's y prof Sagay ave been an advocate of merging anioma to anambra.

Odingo1:
Anioma want a state that will remain in SS. Have you ever heard them say that Anioma state should be joined with SE, it is only few of them and more of Igbos saying that.

If you give Anioma opportunity to vote, they will vote for their state to remain in SS.

Let the Igbos go for a state from SE, except if Anioma people meet with SE people and declare their interest for their state to join SE.

oyel dey ur head

pazienza:
Asagba of Asaba married a Yoruba woman. I doubt his children would be that passionate about Igbo unity, so I'm already counting our loss there.
Though I learnt the Asagba title is not hereditary in Asaba.

Only those living in denial would deny the Igbophobia "winter" building up in Anioma right now.
Those of us in the know can see those clouds gathering, and we know how it's going to end up.

If we learn to put Igbo interests first and foremost, and be ruthless about this, we would be okay, irrespective of how this Anioma coming showdown pans out. But if we start playing emotional politics, we would surely suffer.

thank you bro

pazienza:
None.

Jokwa is Bende Abia State greeting.
