₦airaland Forum

pazienza:
You sound exactly like how the rest of Nigeria sound towards Ndiigbo, and you can see how Nigeria has become worst off for it.
If I ask you to list and explain how Zik exhibited arrogance towards the rest of Ndiigbo, you will run blank now, and start stuttering.
Infact, do you mind listing Zik arrogant behavior towards other Igbos.
It's a known fact that the Igbo nation as we have it today holds whatever degree of cohesion it had today to Zik ground breaking works, no Igbo man dead or alive had come close.
Zik worked for all parts of Igboland. He worked closely with Nzimiro(Imo), Okpara (Abia), Akanu Ibiam (Ebonyi), Enugu ( Jim Nwobodo), etc.
Zik came from Onitsha, a people who suffer from identity crisis, yet he gave so much to Ndiigbo than any dead or living Igbo man had.




Another empty emotional allegations.
Stop making general statements. Tell me how Ojukwu exhibited arrogance towards other Igbos? Great men have self confidence which men of little substance out of envy characterize as arrogance. Look at Cristiano Ronaldo, Serena Williams, Mohammed Ali, etc.
It's part of their winning mentality to be proud of their hardwork and exhibit confidence in their self.

If I ask you evidence of how Ojukwu exhibited arrogance towards other Igbos, you would run blank too.



Enugu is part Of Jim Nwobodo vicinity. Jim Nwobodo come from Amaechi Awkunanaw, which is part of Enugu capital city. So yes, ESUT was sited in his vicinity. Chimaraoke recently took the school to Agbani his home town.
I bet it doesn't matter that Zik out of patriotic considerations decided to build UNN In Nsukka, but it would have mattered and be used to justify Anambra arrogance, had he decided to site it in Onitsha his home town, or neighbouring communities like Obosi, Nkpor, Ozeh, etc.



You see Anambra superiority complex, I see your own inferiority complex. It's same thing when Nigerians speak of Igbo superiority complex, when actually it's about their own inferiority complex.
No Anambra person stopped you from celebrating the achievement of your own people, we actually join you to celebrate your achievements, I am a regular contributor to the Enugu thread. Yet each time Anambra person try to celebrate the Achievements of Ndi Anambra, the inferiority complex of people like you comes up, and you start accusing Anambra people of superiority complex. This behavior is not different from what the rest of Nigeria do to Ndiigbo. You need to kill off your inferiority complex, the problem is not Anambra, the problem is you.

Whatever glorious past Ndiigbo had in Nigeria was given to us by Zik. I had taken time to chronicle the situation of Ndiigbo in Nigerian state by 1948,before Zik took over.
It was no better than the current political state we found ourselves in 2018, but Zik worked on it, and by 1960, we were near the top.
What has your Ekweremmadu done for Ndiigbo? Is he not a mere lap dog to Saraki, how exactly has his current political post benefitted Ndiigbo? Isn't it telling that it's at a time, Ndiigbo has Ekweremmadu as the highest political office holder, that we had experienced the greatest ostracism from Nigerian political sphere?
Ekweremmadu cannot even negotiate any thing for Ndiigbo, he is a bit too quiet and weighed down by skeletons in his cupboards, which the Caliphate had used to gag and prevent him from speaking up or fighting for injustice against Ndiigbo. Even the PDP VP slot, is not looking sure for Ndiigbo under Ekweremmadu docile leadership, Wike and the SS politicians have more say in PDP machinery than Ekweremmadu, is that the kind of leadership you wish on Ndiigbo?

Fresh from Civilwar, it was Zik political sagacity that ensured Ndiigbo got juicy posts from the government of the day? What has Ekweremmadu done for Ndiigbo? Ekweremmadu is exactly the prototype of the Igbo the Nigerians want, the type that stays quiet and don't fight and cause chaos to others, just to get equity for Ndiigbo. Just the perfect docile leader. Ekweremmadu is so small that outside his Enugu constituency, he commands no followership elsewhere in Igboland. How can you lead when you don't have charisma? How can you gather followership if you don't exhibit self confidence? Now you know the difference between your Ekweremmadu and Zik/Ojukwu.

Abribas were not Ibibios. Aro didn't turn them to anything. Bonny and Opobo are proudly Ijaw people today, they hate Ndiigbo. I'm member of their facebook pages, and I know the situation on ground. Moreover the Igbo group Opobo /Bonny have links with are Ndokis.
I guess Ndiigbo would have to thank Aros for terrorizing and raiding our villages with their Abam and Ohafia mercenaries, ransacking and burning down villages to capture slaves they shipped down to Opobo and Bonny for sale to America, which resulted to many unsold Igbo slaves in Opobo and Bonny, staying behind there and became indigenes of those places, leading to the current Igbo language of those those places, right?
We have to condemn Nri people who condemned and laid curses on those involved in slave trade.

See how you insecurities towards Ndi Anambra is inhibiting your rationality.


Another unsubstantiated talk. I was born and raised in Enugu. So there is nothing you would tell me about Enugu.
Chimaraoke was notorious for his romance with Enugu cult boys, who he empowered. Political killings were rampant in Enugu during his era.
He was also found to have looted Enugu treasury dry to the tune of billions, which led to EFCC coming for him, and resulted to closing down of ventures like Cosmo FM,Rainbownet, etc. He also left too many abandoned projects.
Meanwhile, Mbadinuju was quickly toppled and was replaced with competent leaders in Anambra. Enugu has also done same, so as usual, you really have no point.
Many Anambra people call Enugu home, because we have been here ever since Enugu has been capital of the East, we are not unaware of the minor prejudices Enugu people have towards ndi Agba enu , my aunty was sacked by Enugu people because she wasn't an indigene many Anambra people suffered for this, yet we don't hold it against ndi Enugu, we moved on.




Enugu is truly beautiful. But it also had a head start ahead of all other Igbo cities as the capital of Eastern region.
Even till today, Enugu remain the defacto regional capital of SE. Nearly all regional government and private headquarters In SE are in Enugu, from EEDC to CBN. It has not come without benefits. What's more, Ndi Anambra contributed in making Enugu the city it is today, and continues to contribute more, even as we speak, because Enugu has always been a place we consider, despite how hard some minorities in Enugu had made it for us to exist here.



This is straight off Igbophobic pages of Nigerians. Remember I said that the resentment of Igbos like you towards Ndi Anambra, is fueled by the same inferiority complex that fuel Igbophobia from Nigerians towards Ndiigbo, I'm not surprised that you are repeating their lies.
We had discussed this Onitsha pollution issue before, but it was with Yorubas, never knew I would one day has to debunk an Igbo propagating same falsehood.




When you decided to sack all other Igbos in your Civil Service over non Indigene issue, thousands of fellow Igbos who had spent their life time working for your govrnment sent home, setting a precidence which Abia repeated not long ago.
You don't see that as insults to Ndiigbo, right?

When you have the temerity to compare highly cerebral and visionary Igbo leaders like Zik and Ojukwu and Ekwueme( we still remember how Jim Nwobodo campaigned vigorously against him in PDP primaries in 1999 and 2003, so much for Enugu Igbo solidarity, Huh? ) to current political jobbers in Igboland which Ekweremmadu leads? All because you want to talk down on Ndi Anambra, you don't see it as insult?

How many Aviation ministers had Ndiigbo produced before Stella Odua, with all of them playing docile and subservient silent politics, because they didnt want to be seen as loud mouthed or rocking the boat. Yet it was Stella who stood up and challenged the Yoruba cabals at the Aviation whose sole aim was to ensure Lagos monopoly on the airhub of Nigeria continued and saw Stella campaign to make Enugu Airport an international one, a direct threat to them?
The little progress we had made in making Enugu an International airport is thanks to an Anambra woman. She was from Ogbaru Anambra, yet she fought for an international airport that was in Enugu, because she is a proud Igbo woman, the type that is vocal about Igbo interests, that Nigerians don't want. Have you ever given Ndi Anambra credit for the international airport we have Igboland today? Not that we expect any from you, but if you are going to exaggerate all perceived wrongs both real and illusional, Ndi Anambra has caused to Ndiigbo, then we must expect you to start giving us credits for the rights we did.



Ditto brother, ditto. The feeling is mutual.

thank you for this..we need more people like u in this group...

Nna ehhh. This people again.... Others are busy hustling and they are busy giving people skullarship.

Abia amaka.more pictures of abia please

B2mario:
So it's now that you are observing it. That is Chino. He opened this account when I reacted to him telling him of his true person, OMOJIE of 2010/2011 from Edo state, who was arguing with the original OGBUEFI from Igbodo, ika, delta state over the origin of Delta-Igbo. He assumed that Ogbuefi is from Anambra state claiming Ika to distort the bini version of ika origin. I've used complete 5yrs to study Chino here, he's neither Igbo nor Yoruba, he is a bini man that married an Anambra lady. It was after the inccidence with Ogbuefi that he created the Chino account claiming Anambra to distort Igbo unity. It was when i dont know him as of 2011, 2012 and 2013 that i used to engage him. He is following me with more 12 different monikers, most monikers operating on this thread belong to him.

to crown it all. He went and married an ANAMBRA WOMAN. What a hypocrite..he hate seeing our people progress and unite but he went and married an igbo woman

Chai edo people again. Na ehhh. Abi we go run comot for this country

omohayek:
Does that include the very Vice President who praised the girls you're using to inflate your fragile ego? The cretinous nature of you tribalistic ranters never ceases to amaze me; it's almost as if you want others to stop praising anything "your" people do, knowing how quickly you'll let it go to your heads.

yes including ur vp. We turn Nigeria when we represent Nigeria well and turns 5% when it comes for our share in politics

OF DRIBBLERS AND THE DRIBBLED.
.
Election is again knocking around. In the past few weeks, we have borne witness to the most galling manifestation of abject want of principle from the masters who straddle our national destiny. They have shown in unpretentious ways that it is not about the country. Every man of them is dashing, with unprincipled desperation, to where his bread would be buttered. It is, after all, a game of interest. These politicians are not betraying this in any subtle or cunning way. They have made it as glaring as possible. What remains curious is why the masses, the pawns in this unscrupulous game for power have remained indiscerning.
.
Only yesterday, somebody was in the dictator's tent, sharing banter and snuff. Today he is out and suddenly fighting dictatorship and for democracy. The masses quickly forgot the part he played in the dictatorship of yesterday and are celebrating him as a lifelong struggler for natural freedom. Just yesterday, somebody was a looter, a hunted fugitive from the law. Today he is purified as he transcends into the spotless rank of our self-acclaimed saviours. The masses unquestioningly follow this cruel farce, like the series of a tragic comedy.
.
Who are the heavy and ultimate losers? The spell-held masses. When Dr. Bukola Saraki gave a speech to tell the nation why he was fed up with the APC, he reeled out a catalogue of piteous complaints. After reading that speech for the first time, I had to go back and read it again. I was looking for something which to my disappointment I could not find.
.
I did not see where he complained of the slaughterious raids going on across the country. I did not see where he lamented the crass misgovernance of the country. He was not in the least perturbed that a country whose highest Law making body he leads has snatched the ugly trophy from India and now has world's poorest, wrechedest people. He does not care a fig about these disturbing realities.
.
He was lamentative and moved about one thing: He had industriously contributed in the making of the ruling party. For some inexplicable reasons, he came under the Jack boot of the APC government. In more than one occasion he had sued for peace and commonsense. The ruling party paid no heed and had continued to hammer down on him. He and some of his similarly disgruntled colleagues are seeking comfort else where -- like animals whose habitat was destroyed, they are migrating to a new place for accommodation and survival. He did not talk about Nigeria. It was one long and sympathy-seeking story of personal discomfort.
.
Strangly, we are unmindful of this --- we have remained bewitchedly unsuspecting, accepting, most lamentably, to be the battle-hounds for desperate power seekers and obscene gourmands for wealth.
.
When they cannot secure employment for their cronies and sycophants, they educate us on presidential nepotism. Police brutality becomes real only when any of them is touched. When they blatantly rig elections and sway voters, our democracy is waxing stronger, flourishing and under no conceivable threat. Death instantly begins to loom over our " nascent" democracy when they are surprised in their hollow chamber of corruption.
.
They shake hands across the divides. When it suits their interest they wear the traditional attire of just any ethnic group. They enter churches, mosques, shrines, name them, to worship the multifarious gods of the Nigerian people. But they tactfully arouse you to fight like dogs over such inane sentiments like tribe and religion. They can bear any cost to keep these crippling sentiments alive. With those alive and thriving, the masses are securely in their chains and harmless. They cannot unite in ultimate action to avenge their egregiously raped humanity. This is the nefarious formula with which we have been, for sixty years, manipulated by a political class that has been unvarying, ruthless and preposterously depraved.
.
Dear ordinary Nigerian, it is your funeral. You are confronted with many grotesque fingers thrusting forth from one leprous hand. I don't think you have seen any member of the fat-fed class in a fuel queue before . Have you ever seen a politician on the street, protesting non payment of salary? Unable to fully fuel his SUV? Have you ever spotted any of them in your pathetically equipped and quack-staffed hospitals? Was there any occasion you chanced upon any of their children in your outmoded and ultra-useless schools? Those would be the curiousest phenomena.
.
Stop celebrating defections. Stop calling feasts to mark the death of honour and principle in the public life of your country. Mourn instead. Look for sackcloth and ashes and in the attitude of a grief-stricken Jew, send lamentations to the heavens, for a country perilously suspended on the cliff of abyss.

Bastard go and face your backward Imo state. Why can't you useless Imolites face your worthless and useless state for once. Is this below picture also what you lots call roads in Imo state?

best viewer. Tipsy. Afonja people gud morning ooo

Born2Breed:
When the Biafran soldiers invaded the Mid-West, the only barrack had about 30% Bendel and 70% other ethnicity which includes some Anioma and Igbos. It was a Nigeria Army that the Biafrans attacked and not Benin army.

After the occupation,the Benin Resistance Movement led by S.O Ogbemudia an Igbanke/Ika crippled the Biafran soldiers before the arrival of the Nigeria soldiers. Ask your fathers what the Benin resistance movement did to the Biafrans and that same anger led to the extermination of most igbos that was met at Asaba.

Find out what happened to the Igbos at Abudu.

u are a lier. Ogbemudia mum is from igbanke but his is edo. He is not ika. Stop lying

There you go again. There’s a lot of nasty terrible stereotypes I can say about Igbos and other ethnic groups in Nigeria. But I will hold my tongue

no be u start am by mentioning oyibo people

Favor99:
No I’m not, I don’t go running around derailing Igbo threads screaming Igbo this Igbo that

ur brodas do and itx pay back time

[quote author=Favor99 post=69978698]You are a tribalist that spreads toxic hatred and anger on nairaland. Why are you calling him deranged?
He’s been trying to cool you and your arrogant brothers down. But you all won’t listen.
It’s edo this edo that. You sow what you reap. When you travel out of Naija you go see something much worse than the tribalism you guys dish out.
The oyinbo go humble your arrogant people
[/quote like they are doing to ur sis abroad. Italy Russia and co

Favor99:
I know right. These Igbos be talking pompous stuff. And then they scream and cry tribalism more than anyone.
I swear this country is useless. Yorubas are tribalistic to, Igbos are worse though.
Look how they are quick to insult Edo in any thread they can
These same Igbos and Yorubas get treated like trash around the world
And I used to pity them
Now I see they are no different than the whites and other oyinbo that treat them poorly
No wonder Africans don’t cry racism much
They probably know karma is a b****

what about u are not also a Tribalist

justtoodark:
its easy to explain when you know history....yorubas know they are part of you....

igbos,well igbos are the confusionits here....they dont want to adapt to bini...because they are congo people...

its a blood thing.....

u are the delusional one...accept it. U people are alive because of yoruba. And u paid them back with land grabbing. Ur four markets days was given to u by the igbos. Some of ur cultures are igbo like. Nonsense.

justtoodark:
what you dont understand is,their was something before bini existed....

i dont go that far back in history...i dont want to get an headache.....

swerve I don't talk to deranged people

Edo claiming anything they see. U grab igbo land. Grab yoruba land. Grab ijaw land and now u ave spread ur tentacles to Ghana. Chai bini is very delusional

justtoodark:
we are all bini...even the yorubas are bini....we separeted and spread across the land long ago....i know that history....

whites didnt separate us....we separated long before whites learned how to clean their yansh coming out of the caves of europe....

you igbos are from congo.....

or cameroon area today....

thats why we dont understand each other....

lol. Ogiso was replaced by a yoruba man. They gave u oba. That's y the head of ur oba are been buried in Ile ife and there is evidence to prove that not some fairy tales u bini people give about oduduwa being a bini man. Lies. The igalas messed u peeps up. Ijaw destroyed ur empire with the help of the britz. And u we igbos struck the final blow

davidnazee:
Thanks bro. I just Dey vex. Anytime there is a topic about Edo, within 2 to 3 days responses and posts don reach 50,000.. mostly from Yorubas and Igbos. Why are they suffering from Edophobia and scared of Edo people?
I know we conquered them in the past but all that is past now. We should be thinking and talking progressively not hating in this present era.

which igbo did you conquer. Igala beheaded one of ur oba and took the bini sculpture as trophy which he always hang on his neck. Bini claimed anything they see. When igbanke. Ijaw and yoruba people in edo state start carving out their land. We will see what is left of edo

Favor99:
@davidnazee
@stranac
@amberon11

And whoever else knows the answer. To this question
What’s population of degema? I heard they came from Benin. I don’t know much about them. What tribe are they part of today?

lol. Degema also is also from bini? U peeps are delusional

Sprumbabafather:
Anyone who responds to Chino and Abagworo hiding under the name of bestviewer is not helping Igbo discuss. Cjrane has been used to react and distract us. That's their ploy.

Bestviewer, chino, Abagworo, ofuzo, Yyeske, igbodefender and another 20 more names are the same team of afonjas trying desperately to derail igbo topics by trying to divide us.

don't mind the riffraffs. We know who they are.

nengibo:
The similarities are there because Abriba and other Abia ppl have Ibibio, annang ancestry and not the other way around, these people are all Ibibios and should be part of Niger delta, if we want to landgrab like the igbos

we didn't claim them to be igbo people. We are jst pointing out similar between us and them. Nothing more

[quote author=nengibo post=69970437]The similarities are there because Abriba and other Abia ppl have Ibibio, annang ancestry and not the other way around, these people are all Ibibios and should be part of Niger delta, if we want to landgrab like the igbos[/quote. U peeps don't get this thread. Do you? The thread was about similarities between igbos and ibibios not about biafra but some retards ave turned into another thing

davidnazee:
Do you know your history?
During Biafra war when the Asaba massacre was taking place it was a Benin colonel that led some Benin soldiers and stood between the Nigerian army and the Asaba people that were being massacred. He defied the Nigerian army to save you guys.
Last month the Asaba people gave him an award in remembrance of his help. So stop saying what you do not know.

u are a bloody lier
