That's just the fact. How can I be arguing with someone who doesn't speak Igbo, answer igbo names, can't understand your language.

Infact everything is different from A-Z...yet they still want me to be arguing blindly...

He will never get it because he will never understand how Igbotic the Anioma truly is due to his language barrier. You know when we discuss about this Igbo denials some non Igbos may think we are obsessed or begging these people but they must understand that these people are inherently Igbotic from the very beginning. I understand Ukwuani but I don't understand Ngwa, Ezaa and even some Owerri yet I am from Idemmili, Anambra. Shocking hugh

nocomment9999:
Clearly these igbo believe us Anioma are their property in some way. What kind of psychopaths think this way ?

Oga, you are from Oza Nagogo. You are a Bini boy trapped in western Igbo geographic area. You don't belong to this conversation. Go and join Edo world.

Ofunwa111:
See your mouth like "us Anioma". . When people of Anioma are talking, the likes of Oza Nagogo want to cough? hahahaha. We all know you are an Edo man. If the likes of RedboneSmith, Cjrane, Ikechu, Oweniwe use the term "us Anioma", then we know the real Anioma's are talking, not you!

Oh , the boy isnt even a western Igbo...lmao. I am done. Na Bini people trapped in Anioma and I was here wasting my time.

Sorry , guys.

samuk:
The last time I checked, we were discussing history. History means the past and not the present, so whatever Onitsha people choose to call themselves now has no relevance to the history we are discussing. You yourself did alluded to their Benin ancestral claim no matter how much you tried to downplay it.

I don't honestly see why the history of Benin causes so much headaches in some. This was in the past, why all the heartache? I don't get it.

Anyways, you arent a western Igbo , so , no need to continue. It will be more sensible if you spoke Igbo like the western Igbos.

nocomment9999:
All I have claimed have been proven. Listen carefully, my people will not ask your igbo people for permission. We do not belong to you ! Put that in your scall. We are Edo wether you like it or not ! It is none of your business !

You are inconsequential and I dont care if you are Edo or not but as long is you speak Igbo language you will continue to look sstupid even to Edo people. Do us a favor and stop speaking my language , stop practicing my culture and we will leave you alone. Employ Edo language teachers and gradually resurrect this your precious Edo culture like the Amazigh of Morocco are currently doing, like I did when I dropped my baptismal name, Joseph for my grand father's name. Be original and stop being silly.

@pazienza, Obalatule, RedboneSmith, Ofunwa111, IDENNNA, Afam4eva, ariesbull:

You all should stop engaging this retrograde (nocomment9999) as Anioma, because he is not.

He is a Benin. He only impersonates on this thread as Anioma in the hope of being able to tease the frontiers of his 2 by 2 Benin chiefdom.

He knows very well that the only feasible means of achieving such goals is through lies and more lies. Hence his full-blown commitment to lying hard.

He understands very well that to propagate the Benin chiefdom with truth is like imaging imagining a married bachelor — an inherent contradiction; hence the resort to lies and more hard lies.

Here is his picture in the attachment below. Even with the face mask, one can tell that no Anioma person can be this ugly — with his bald head and monster face. Think Obaseki, Oshiomole, et al.

Cheers!

Because its the only means to cover their shame. They make up things, circulate a useless map that doesnt explain the geography. What ever feeds their little ego is fair game. Imagine saying they ruled over entire southern Nigeria when they could not cross Agbor...na waa

samuk:
Come to think of it, the Igbos can't have Anioma, Ikwerre and rest of south south, what's left? Even within the heartland of south east from Oguta to Nsigidi, they are all falling over themselves to reaffirmed and retrace their Benin ancestry. It must be very hurtful to their dead on arrival Biafra project.

Indeed , I was with the Obi of Onicha this morning and we are just done with paying homage to the fetish man that sit on your village throne. You delude yourself and this is sickening! For a people that claim to build the mightiest empire in west Africa greater that Ashanti, Ghana , Songhai , Mali you seem to have a big challenge convincing your own very neighbors the same people you claim to rule over...oga carry your fetish village chief comot for my face. What a nerve!

samuk:
You are very funny, there is absolutely nothing for Benin to discuss or debate with anyone in Nigeria for 400 years, 1400 to 1800, for four hundred years Benin was on it's own and the Nigeria world literally revolved around Benin, Benin was the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. It was not until 1800s that others started being noticed and having voices. You guys should know your historical playmates. Benin is well out of your leagues.

Hey , its okay to tell these ridiculous and embarrassing tales if it soothes your fragile ego but bear it in mind that presently you have absolutely nothing to back your claims up with , except some inferior village head like the fhoolish Nduka who willingly went to embarrass himself. I have had a.ss lickers around me like Nduka Ezeagwuna and it irritates me. Did you see the way your Oba was mockingly laughing at him while he stood there like a willing slave. If you are going to have a vassal let it be something you can beat your chest and be proud of. For instance, Onicha people like to say they are from Bini but it stops right there at the beer parlour. No Onicha man will ever pay homage to anything Bini....they love the Igbo language and culture so much so that they are not willing to taint it with what the we call "Omenani lulu inyi" , dirty traditions. Haven't you see their Ofala , how , elegant , classy , and neatly done. There is nothing dirty in that display. Onicha man will not trade that for anything. We gave them that land , the polish and enrichment in culture.....haha

History is not a war. We are talking about passed events, my only interests is discovering them. That is why I have no interest in telling lies contrary to the igbos and yorubas who live in denial and think about history as a battle field in which the truth is their ennemey and must be slaughtered.
Trolling is not what I am here for, but judging by you peoples comments, you are proud trolls who frequently boast of how well you troll.

Funny people

With the Igbo you can bet your last dollar we do not take prisoners. This is embedded into our psych , in our culture and beliefs. We are not taking anything away from your Edo culture but the truth must stand no matter how painful it hits you. You can't speak my beautiful language, enjoy my culture then turn around and disparage it just because you heard some tales about some inconsequential chiefdom you want to associate with.

Kelly Nzekwe, very uncultured Igbo man appointmented a British fake warrant chief and now he think he is a monarch....tufia!
Go rest , inferior

What a read. Igbo boys are hard nuts to crack. The beatings Edo wannabes got here was legendary! Pablo, Ngozi , Pazie , Aries etc Una weldon

gregyboy:
Igbo amaka
Edo odion

Excuse me ? What is Edo Odion?

Cc. gregyboy

Ofala Aguleri Idigo na adi iche.

"we the south south are united and love ourselves " , Igbos are criminal and greedy.

candidtalk:
Asuming what you say is true, we must now believe others alone are exclusively hateful and nepotistic while, as usual, Igbos are whiter than snow creatures of virtue ba?

The day you lot, rather than always rushing to blame others for your woes, accept that "do unto others as you wish done unto you" is a very powerful mantra for living a happy and fulfilled life is the day 90% of the problems of Igbos are over.

You didn't make any point. But , let me put a question to you ? Why do you dangle that one Nigeria mantra and what did Igbo do to you ? Please, don't bring any sstupid 1966 coup because you guys were the ones who want one Nigeria. Isnt it so ?

aribisala0:
Fulani herdsmen are tourists?
Why do you people like deceiving yourself that you travel more than other people?
You write your own exam and award yourself A+
Do you know what it takes to walk from Sokoto to Port Harcourt with 100 cows and no SatNAv?
Other people travel they are just not as noisy or as lousy

Before Nigeria was created where did you travel to apart from being sold as slaves?
If you want to argue for infrastructure fine but stop this traveller fiction

Just a little tip of what tribalism does to a person; it blinds you from other angles and make you ignorant.


Now to my question; how many Fulani's travel with cows through the forest and how many are actually from Nigeria ?

Long shot from reality, really. PDP has better chance.

adadike:
you reminded me of something I wish I can get out of my memory forever. It was my first year in UNN, one particular Sunday, I left the hostel to visit my dad's sister who live somewhere in town with her cute family. On my way, I saw a small gathering of people, out of curiosity, I asked the bike man to stop. I almost died of shock when I saw a big and mighty eke being butchered by a woman. Her cooking utensils are nearby as well.
For more than one month , I kept having nightmares. I stopped eating meat and fish entirely, unless am back home with my parents.

Anambra people didn't marry from Enugu because of this practice....fa na eli eke!! Its It's utterly disgusting.

Afam4eva:
I'm sure tomorrow is Anambra is divided into 2 states, you people will start another agenda. It's just like stereotypes. Like how I used to hear about how Anambra people do blood money and this was when Enugu was part of old Anambra state. As soon as Enugu was carved out of Anambra state, all of a sudden, Enugu people stopped doing blood money just because they didn't take the 'Anambra' name.

Blood money was tagged to Anambra people in the '90s , Enugu was not fingered in that stereotype. But, ili eke is part of Enugu culture and no Anambra person marries from any family that eats the eke Idenmili.

Many culture Enugu people practice today were nonexistent before state creation. Today , I see Enugu Enugu people with Ijele masquerade. I see Imo people taking Ijele title but these traditions never existed in these places. Just like Nze greetings. It has become formal but it was initially only for ozo initiates.

Afam4eva:
Lol Aint no such thing as Omanbala tradition. Not saying towns around each other cannot be related in some way. You can keep telling yourself that to feel good or so that agenda must agenda. Wherever you go in fringes of Anambra, it bears a similarity to the state that they border. Anywhere that borders Enugu probably is similar to the communities that they border. Ihiala is probably more similar to mgbidi than they are to Onitsha and so on. Not saying there isn't some similarities between Anambra communities but you can't really call it Omanbala culture.

I have defined Omanbala culture here and all you can do is just ask if you don't know m rather than make assumptions. I can define it for you if you care.
Cc. Afam4eva

MelesZenawi:
Anambra dey two?

Pay no mind. He knows what I meant when I said Anambra. Anambra is not two. Enugu was added to Anambra for convenience not because we were one people. Again, ndi Enugu na eli eke fa na Ndi Ebonyi. They are the same people.

Afam4eva:
Which Anambra? The old or new one?

Sorry , even during the old Anambra days we knew who we were. Our cultures are different, very different. Anambra and Enugu arent the same people not in food , traditions or language. We know who we were. There are similarities on the fringe but as you move deeper the difference becomes obvious. Enugu na eli eke!

Now, to your question. I believe I have answered it , already. We are rooted in the Omanbala traditions. When I say Omanbala I meant the today Anambra with a unique culture.

Barryseal:
Crap. You know nothing. Ignorant mofo. The highest ozor title in Abatete is the Aro title.
80+ age grade wear the omu Aro. Go verify from your grand father, born throwway.

First of all, Arochukwu has no Nze na Ozo , so there couldn't have been any category of Ozo called "Aro title"...lol. There is nothing like Aro title in Abatete Ezeogu. Also , you said they wear the omu Aro ? Where do they wear it ? On their head or body ? You no absolutely nothing about where you came from but you are spoiling for debate. I have been with Ndichie Abatete if you must know and I have seen their regalia.

Cc.Barryseal

Nobody verified any ffucking Aro migrations because you dont verify what doesn't exist. No oral tradition about Aro migration. We are rooted in Anambra and all our migrations were All from Anambra groups.

Barryseal:
I still stand by my initial quote. Anambra, Imo, Enugu etc didn't exist pre colonial Era. For instance, the verified history of Abatete, Umuoji and Nkpor has it that they were birthed by the same father Ichie Otie who was a warrior from Aro in the present day Abia state.
Hypothetically speaking, If I tell you the origin of the ogene instrument was from Abatete. Which state will claim it? Is it Abia or Anambra?

This post is very offensive to my heritage. Abatete (Ezeogu), Umuoji(Igwulube Okodu) and Nkpor(Idike) has absolutely nothing in common with Arochukwu. This , very much explains your knowledge of history. You are not well read in history and I suggest you leave it for those of us who have sacrificed many years researching about Igbo history and traditions.

Stop reading the nonsense you see on wikipedia. Ignorant people wrong those trash. For your information, Abatete, Umuoji and Umuidike were listed as one of the founding towns of Igbo land. Aro is relatively new and there is no one ffucking tradition that link us to them.

In fact, I am from Umuoji and also belong to Nkpor Facebook page and at some point I had to educate them about that Arochukwu hogwash and now they are better informed. We have nothing with Aro, zilch!

For instance, alot of our clans migrated from Nri. In Abatete, there is an Nri quarter. In Umuoji , some village originated from Umudioka , Oyi areas like Ogbunike and Omanbala towns and some were aboriginals. The Okodu towns had existed many centuries before Aro was founded. Please, dont spread ignorance.

unshakablejihad:
why all diz bullshiit we are all one..

I never said Igbo is not one but we must put things in the right context. Didn't some Enugu person told Flavor Nabania to go to his state and protest ENDSARS? But , we are one, right. Did Abia sack all non indigens serving in their civil service ? But we are one.

Barryseal:
Guy shut up! I be Abatete boy.

So , what ? We still have ofekes' and ofu ogolis amongst us. By the way , I am not calling you names but don't act like Igbo is homogeneous.

I know an Abatete man can never marry from a clan that eats eke.

I just hate when people pick and chose. During employment people remember Anambra and Enugu are different but when it doesn't suit them we become one.

Barryseal:
There was no existence of Enugu or Anambra Pre colonial era. What you call Anambra, Enugu as it is, were migrants from different communities/kingdom. Tracing the origin of an ancient instrument like Ogene to a particular state created recently by the military is presumptuous.
The true origin of the Ogene is unknown.

Whenever you want to rope us all together you pull this card as if you were not the ones who fired Anambra civil servants and branded us "ndi ijeko ebee" but now Igbo bu ofu. Sorry , there is a mountain of difference between people living in Enugu and people living in Anambra. Anambra people don't eat snakes, you do.

mktinsight:
You are very silly. I am from Nibo on my maternal side. NIBO is not Awka.

If you say your mother is from Nibo then you must learn that nwadiana anaro ebu isi ani! Let Nibo speak for themselves.

lkillbrokehoes:
I'm sure people like you haven't left the shore of Nigeria, maybe you need to travel out more to see what we call a world class hospital, not the mediocre you are celebrating

Don't be ignorant and don't make assumption.

sulaak:
Nigerians before we say, we must first ask questions. Where did Senator Ifeanyi Uba get the funds to build the hospital?

I will respect a man who stole but used it to build social amenities than the one who stole and saved the billions in a foreign account. But , I dont suppprt looting and neither did I say Ifeanyi Ubah stole money.

lkillbrokehoes:
You bloggers just call any name, have you ever seen a world class hospital? this hospital might be good but it can never be a world class hospital

How Do you define world class ? By building design or the skilled workers and equipment they have ? Naija is filled with ignorant wise men...smh
