Those of u dumb people that criticize Omanbala write up, let me ask u a question.

Is the current trend of every Tom, Dick and Harry marrying Igbo sustainable?

In the whole Nigeria, everytime on media it is only Igbo that are passed about(around) like gypsy.

Even in Boko Haram Igbo women are married.


i.e. Mama Boko Haram, do u people think this is normal? cc: pazienza

cYou might mean well but you shouldn’t make the fallacy of false generalizations. We don’t have the data to support your generalization at all. Even on this thread, we’ve had a number of Anambra people just like you coming to condemn the uncouthness exhibited by a few.

I grew up in Enugu and a large number of my childhood friends were from Anambra. I certainly don’t find these traits of pomposity and vanity in them (or they won’t be my friends). I can also assume the same to be true of you since you find these attitude repulsive.

Yes, some characters exhibit this attitude. This is hardly limited to Anambra people, people from everywhere exhibit similar characteristics albeit clad in different ways and it is mainly tied to their individual inferiority complexes and lack of exposure.

Can we assume that since you’re obviously a Star Wars fan we can generalize your character traits to other Star Wars fans. This is just a logical fallacy and we should avoid these generalizations because they form the basis for tribalism of all kinds.

U will never find me insult other Igbo States but I am a core and proud onye-Anambra.

If anybody feel offended by this, then that person has a big problem.

I will always take a moral stand on issues regardless of how it is understood.

Understanding is unique and wat differentiates one person from another.

Omanbala said something very insightful but the shallow ones are quick to write him off or criticise him becos of how they understood wat he was saying.

I support him becos of how I understand wat he is saying.

God bless Anambra s

OMANBALA1:
In the future Anambra will enact a law that will make it absolutely impossible for Ndi Anambra to marry non Anambra persons. I have noticed that men invloved in inter state marriage tend to be culturally weak minded. Men like Peter Obi, Stella Oduah as opposed to Victor Umeh and Obiano. This will make our culture to survive and become even stronger because iron sharpens iron.

I will also advise other Igbos to toe this lie for preservation of your culture as the ultimate sacrifice for your fatherland.

Ndigbo muo nu!
Zuo nu!
And Long live Eze Nri, Enwelana!

This post deserve a special place on this thread so everybody can read.

superlightning:
But your omambala sisters keeps pressuring us for marriage...Lol....

Enjoy your delusion jaare, Nigeria is no place for condoning realities. Life is hard.

Well, if that is how u want to play it.

U will have to go out to Abuja for your Traditional.

It cannot hold in Anambra.

Interstate marriages ban. (outlaw)

As Omanbala rightly put it, no more interstate marriages.


We are working on laws to ensure we put a full stop to dat.


That agenda has always been at the back of our mind and we are moving towards implementing it.


Everybody, go and marry from your State. Nonsense!

Anambra people are a monolith or homogeneous...



Take it from me.



Everybody should go and marry from their state.



God bless Anambra.



No part of us must be touched in any useless state creations.

pazienza:
The only explanation for this nonsense is that none of those claiming to be from Abia and Anambra here are truly from there.
What we have here are impostors fully out to derail our thread.
If we(real Igbos) don't stand up and denounce these shameless impostors, this thread would waste lots of pages on nonsense exchanges between these impostors.
HammerFc , you really fall my hand by standing with those impostors here.

Nwanne, Omanbala is not a clone.

Ezigbote nwafor Anambra.

As much as i disagree on some issues, the Anambra bond is something that cannot be broken.

It is cemented in centuries age marriages.

I fully endorse the bolded.

Any SE state dat dont like it, should go to hell.

qNna lekwe nu nzuzu..... Read previous posts and see if your own definition of pan-igboism involves "southeast" as you claim. Your own pan-igboism involving belittling Enugu state right? You ridicule waawa people every now and then in the pretence of celebrating NRI legacy.

Anyway, its not your fault, I blame those who bought MB for you.

Igbo will not be complete without Ndi Nsukka.


Dont let these kids here deceive u, Ndi-Nsukka are valuable member of the Igbo family.


Igbo that are going begging brother with Ikwere, will now belittle their Nsukka brothers that have always stood by us and even endured war with us during Biafra.

Wat else are brothers for?


Ndi Nsukka did not cause the Biafra War but their land was a frontline for the Biafra War.


They are our blood brothers.

I am back. Where are those inferior wawa people that are ashamed to speak their nauseating wawa dialect in public lol

Can u stop that nonsense u are doing?


It dont make sense.

Those of you that have access to Peter Obi should let him know that, Adada State creation is a necessary evil to get our Igbo people out of the middle-belt.


That way, we can know wen fulani harm, them.


Adada state is a priority over any State being created in the SE zone.

pazienza:
You know, they have Ndemili in Ndokwa/Ukwuani region of Delta state.

Seriously brother. You are missing the point I'm passing across.

States are for siphoning national cake to the grassroots. If we have the chance, we should create as much state as possible in Igboland.
I'm not by any means saying that Anambra should be divided, I'm saying that if we have the opportunity to have additional state in SE, we should grab it and stop being emotional about dividing artificial creations called states.
This should be simple to assimilate, but I don't know why you are struggling to do so.

The only state in SE that would not cut Anambra is Aba state.

But will Anambra really gain by not having part of it used to create new states.
If Aba state is created, the remaining part of Abia will have three senators, and Aba will have 3senators, while the rest of Anambra as big as it is, will all fight for three senators.
The same thing will apply in national cakes like employment into NDA, Navy, and other FG parastatals, even Ministerial and ambassadorial appointments.

Those of you who wish for all us in Anambra to crowd out vying for same number of federal cake, while Abia zone would Now double their portion of the national cake via Aba state creation, are not being practical. You are sacrificing pragmatism on altar of emotionalism.

I understand but Ndi Anambra dont want anymore states.

Wat we are interested in is the rescue mission for Ndiigbo outside the SE, in particular Middle-belt before heading to Anioma and Edo.

pazienza:
I have seen Anioma supremacists add Obosi and Ogidi as parts of greater Anioma.

But I told them that Asaba(Nteje), Ogwashiukwu(Nri), Ibusa( Isu-Nnewi) Ute Okpu(Nri), Owa(Nri), are by extension, parts of Anambra.

Eke is wat is stopping dem all from claiming Idemili.

pazienza:
They are not being claimed, they are one people.
You can as well do reverse claiming of you wish.
For example, we can claim Asaba (Nteje), Ogwashiukwu (Nri), Obomkpa (Nri), Ibusa (Isu Nnewi South).
We can claim Nsukka (Nri, called Nshi in those parts ), We can claim the entire Isu clans in Imo and Abia by claiming that we have Isus who are autochthomous in Anambra South.
We can claim Ibaji Kogi people .

The list is endless.

You are just being unnecessarily fearful. Holding too firm to artificial creations of Nigeria called states, without understanding the pre colonial kinship amongst groups in Igboland.

I don't see Urata, people in Imo crying about losing Okigwe , Ideato etc to a new state. Because they know they are not actually kin with those people.
I don't see Ezza people crying over Afikpo plans to join the new state, because they know that Ebonyi is an artificial creation.
I don't see Nkanu people crying over the plans of Nsukka people to form Adada state.
All these groups understand the pre colonial arrangement of Igboland better and they understand the purpose of state creations.

Are their any group claiming any part of Idemili?

Dat is the only one left to claim East.

In Anambra west Onitsha is being claimed by Anioma.


In Anambra south Ihiala is being claimed by Imo.


In Anambra North Omabala is being claimed by Kogi and Enugu.


Ke odi nsogbu di ihia

pazienza:
Ikas started off with Western Ibos, Mid western Ibos, Bendel Ibos, Delta Ibos, Ika Ibos, and today, we are being told that Ikas had evolved an identity of their own separate from the rest of Ndiigbo and can no longer be Igbo.
Nah from clap dem dey take enter dance.

Wepu aka enwe n'ofe, tupu ogho aka mmadu.
This Omambala consciousness or whatever you call it is artificial and anti Igbo. It puts a knife on things that unite Igbo groups.
The clans are better, because our clans transcends the artificially created Nigerian states.
How can you be promoting an Omambala artificial identity that would separate Isu clans from Northern Imo and Abia, from their people in Southern Anambra. That will separate the Ogbaru people from their people in Ndoni and Ndokwa?

Those states that have been created will be difficult to do away with.

Anambra will not like to see any part removed from them.

Ihiala is considered Anambra and i dont think the people from Ihiala will like all this talk of Imo.

I know a few of them.These people are proud NdiAnambra and have even produced Governor of Anambra State.

pazienza:
The states are simply conduit pipes to share the national cake. Nothing more and nothing less. 30yrs ago, an Nkanu and Abakaliki man were Ndi Anambra too, until more conduits for national cake sharing were created and named Ebonyi and Enugu states.
There is no gap between Ihiala man and his Imo neighbors, whatever gap that exists are artificial and were created by Nigeria. They will not survive after Nigeria stops existing.
By the way, from that your map, the center of Igboland, if you add Anioma, is somewhere between Okigwe and Orlu.

Yes Orlu east.

The map is valid in its own way but the States we have today are by no means a mistake and they are wat we have to work with.

In many cases, places like Nnewi and Ihiala have bridged gap in the same way Ihiala and Orlu bridged the gap.

U cannot tell me Ihiala is the samething as Orlu.

OMANBALA1:
It will not fly because we didnt interct with Hausa nor Yoruba before the whiteman came. So, that argument fall flat on its face. However, we traded with Igala and Bini little wonder we never really had real issues with the later. But because with didnt have any contact with hausa and yoruba it was had to find means of understanding,henceforth, the conflicts. You are smarter than what you are doing now.

Leave pazienza joor, somebody have to hold the igbocentric position.

He is looking at this map.

pazienza:
At the bold, I hope you know this twisted logic can also be used against us.

Nigerians can say that all ethnic groups in Nigeria have been interacting with each other over centuries and that with time, all groups in Nigeria will merge as one. Hence, there is no need for Biafra.

Infact, some Hausa Fulanis like Mohammed Haruna are already pushing this logic as basis for Nigerian unity not being negotiable.

But Nigeria matter never reach centuries now. oga

BrownRoofRep:
Nobody in Nigeria outside the South East will back the idea of creating more tiny states from the already tine states in South East. Hug states like Kano will agitate and get three more.
All these Adada, Akwuakwu, Agaga, Anana, Njaba, Nnaba etc are for nothing but group of people planing on squeezing to Abuja oil money share.
Add more Igbo states from Benue or Anioma is the way to go.

As Igbos we must get all our people back.


More states will be created but not in middle-igbo.

pazienza:
Lol! There is nothing like Anambra dialect. I was in Amaisi in Aguata for an event yesterday.
The language sounded funny. I swear, I thought I was in Imo state.
If a man from that part of Aguata comes to Ilo ngwodo, Nkwo ezi udo, Afor Igwe or Ogbe otu and start speaking that their language, my people will call him "Onye Imo".

They were speaking conc Isu language there as indigenous language.
I wanted to interview the people more about their origin, but I ran out of time.

Yes! Idemili/Njikoka/Anaocha/Dunukofia/Oyi dialect cluster is the quintessential language people ignorantly call "Anambra language".
It's the lightest form of Igbo language, it's not nasalized at all, and it avoids harsh diphthongs like "sh" sounds like mad.
It's exotic and sweet to the ear. It loves simplicity and strives to keep things simple.

For example. Nwabunwanne becomes "Nwaa'nne", notice how "bu" was removed. Chibuzo becomes "Chi'uzo", m mafu ama gi ula becomes " m mafu ama 'I ula". Notice the omission of letter "g".

Every unbiased Igbo knows deep inside that this dialectical cluster found in Anambra is the sweetest, lightest and easiest to understand of all Igbo dialects.

I liken it to American English
