It's from "Isu-ama".
That's the word Ikwerre and Ogba people use to describe Igbos. I think it's from the errenous assumption that all Igbos are from the ancient Isu clan of Igbo that inhabit Northern Imo and Southern Anambra.

Funny enough, Ikwerre people call Owerre people Isoma too, while Owerre people call other Igbo speaking groups around them, Isoma.

It's akin to how Ngwas call all other Igbo speaking groups North of Ngwa land "Ohuhu".


Ikwerre and Ogba people use the Isoma thing in condescending manner.
One Ogba rabid Igbo hater in Ogba facebook page, told me that in the past, my Isoma people use to come to farm for his ancestors for a peanut as pay, since Ogbalands were more fertile than Isoma lands. That his father told him that Isoma people are people of lowly background, who worked for Ogba people in their farmlands while Ogba people rested at home, and that Ogba people are descendants of Bini princes. That they can't be Igbos, that Igbos are Isomas.


So you can see, a part of their resentment of Igbo tag is deep rooted in generational arrogance passed down to them, which portrays them as royal blood, and Igbos(Isomas) as Slaves (labourers).
Yet they would always swear that Igbos are arrogant, and that's why they hate Igbos. You can imagine the irony.
I bet they expect us to come and start working on their farmlands again, to be adjudged humble. This is why I easily dismiss claims of arrogance against Ndiigbo by Bitter Igbophobic Nigerian groups. It's often ironic, if you dig deeper into their claims, you find out they are rather the arrogant ones, who expect Ndiigbo to not rise, in other to be adjudged humble.

ghostfacekillar:
lol. They should continue.... They rather critize the igbos rather than wike and co who is looting them dry

Ogba people have been trying so hard to infest Ohaji/Egbema parts of Imo state with their cultism.

Places like Awarra in Ohaji are now cultist den, no thanks to seeds sowed by Ogba cultists there.

Rochas is trying to stop the fire from Ogba from spreading to Ohaji, Egbema and rest of Imo.

Nke anyi bu nke Anyi.

I tell people that Ph is the future Jerusalem. The Ikwerres and Ijaws have a score to settle over the ownership of Ph. Ndiigbo must do well to stay away from it, and let them sort themselves out, when the time comes.
We should stop giving groups who naturally are enemies to each other, use shared hate for us to find a middle ground for fake unity. We must deny them of that fake unity, by staying away from the equation. And the way we do this, is via "Aku luo uno". Even wise men like Obi of Onitsha are singing the same song. Aku must luo uno. And part of Aku ilu uno, is by ensuring that we invest in key infrastructures in Igboland, whose absence in Igboland could make us dependent on non Igboland.

For example, we must reject violently, attempts to sell Ph airport as a substitute to Enugu international Airport.

That's how we win this war, ndi nkem.

Leave Don wanny and his Ogba people.

Those ones hate for Igbo, Ikwerre Igbo hate is child's play to compare to Ogba Igbo hate.

In Ogbaland, they don't sell lands to Ndiigbo. It's a community wide decision, borne out of deep seated resentment for Ndiigbo.

Don wanny isn't different from his Ogba people. His death was deserved and has nothing to do with Ndiigbo.
I was surprised he was in Enugu.


Ogba call us Isoma too. And they say it in condescending manner.
Yes, I'm in Ogba facebook forums. Nope! I'm not jobless.

Purehuman:
Ikwerre doesn't like igbos. I just pity the ones thinking otherwise.

Purehuman:
We igbos are only industrious when we chase money. We do not care about anything else if doesn't bring money. The kind of infrastructure that we get doesn't concern us. We only come online to pay lipservice and speak big big grammar.

If we really want to change things happening in the east, we can start the process. But we are too concerned about other things so we do nothing. Most of us here use this thread as a pass time not as a rallying point for a new Igbo nation.

To answer your question; we are not weak but we love to be stupid.

Nwanne,, I understand. Bianca lost, I wanted her to win. But it's not the end of the world. Remember that Ojukwu lost election in old Anambra as well. So don't let Mischievous impostors who are trying to bring the Enugu-Anambra issue into it, in vain attempt to divide Ndiigbo.
We know better. When Ojukwu son told Bianca to return to Enugu, the topic was brought in Ndi Anambra forum on facebook , where real Anambra people with real face, all in majority condemned Ojukwu son, and reaffirmed that in Igbo tradition, a woman automatically becomes an indigene of her husband place.
Okonjo Iweala took Abia slot as a minister of finance, and not Delta.

Bianca losing a primary election is not the end of the world. Her husband Ojukwu did, and it never took away the way Ndiigbo regarded him.
Bianca can still serve Ndiigbo in many other capacities.

Let it go. Stop feeding the trolls.

Purehuman:
If you really want to sleep well at night, just forget about Ikwerre. Some of them who are IPOB members were preaching about unity with us but they weren't having it. They hauled insults on them and were advising the admin to remove them. These were adults in their 30's and 40's. A woman said if her daughter brings an isoma to the house, she's going to disown her. I was very surprised at the level of hatred shown by them.

Just forget about those people, we can do better with better alliances than those guys. They even believe they are better because of the prince story they added to their history. They were really hilarious most times though.

vanbonattel:
Setting up an Anambra and Enugu bashing. We know you for your nuisance.

basilo101:
Walahi. We need to be more brutal with those lowlifes

Purehuman:
I joined an Ikwerre group on Facebook. The way they took turns in insulting Igbo, you will be forced to slap one of them. Some even said they prefer to marry Hausa than marrying Igbo from southeast.

Stop living in fools paradise, those guys do not love us one bit.

onuebonyi:
Ebonyi International airport ti take over.


This airport will serve Enugu and Ebonyi states even parts of Cross River and Benue states. GOOD NEWS

basilo101:
Let us join hands in sacking the lifeless one

basilo101:
The garden City okpara built has been turned to garbage city by half baked Ikwerre leaders

onuebonyi:
We are already using PH International airport. Lol

Enugu local airport has been handed over to gbuurugburu. Lol

onuebonyi:
But it has been substituted already. Are you gonna go to war? Enugu state airport is a state airport. It has been gazzetted as such. You wonder why it has been abandoned by the FG


Below is the PH International airport that will serve the SS and SE

pazienza:
Exactly.
Imagine telling us that Ph airport would Now serve as substitute to Enugu International Airport.
Does these people think we are morons?

Same Rivers state where Gowon international stadium was recently unveiled, would Now serve Igboland?

Osagyefo98:
Anyway no need the case is settled. We are confortable as far as she has losed. Case closed.

Osagyefo98:
And there claims are right and is referred to as superior arguments. Bianca is not from Anambra state, she is from ngwo in Enugu state.
