Akwa Ibom and IMO state are top joint producers. Akwa. ibom alone cannot produce 70%. Other states include Cross river, Edo, Delta, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Ondo, bayelsa and Rivers state.

Interesting. Imo is doing great and all other SE states are well represented.

I'm glad to see this. We are doing well.

Maduawuchukwu:
Ndi Ipob are cursed. So you are now claiming the killing of policemen in AkwaIbom State. When the state government and Igbo haters start blaming us like they did during the EndSars chaos in Lagos, you will start defending your foolish selves.

Do they ever think through the actions? Ndi isi aku oyibo.

Maobichek:
Thank you for "Abu 35" you quoted, I'm only trying to point out the fact that Anglican Igbo hymn was not written with Anambra dialect, Owerri or Ngwa dialect. Most Anambra ppl, more especially Onitsha use the letter "R" in place of "L". Example they pronounce "Love" as "Rove." If Prof. Rems or Prof Joy Eyisi ( English department Unizik) is making your script and you wrote with Onitsha dialects: "R" in place of "L" you are bound to fail that course.

My point is clear and straight, the Igbo we use in writing WAEC, University examination; what we have in Igbo Bible and Anglican hymn remain the only and standard Igbo, thank you.

Igbo Izugbe uses more Abia/Imo words, but uses Anambra/Enugu sentence structure.

Example 1

They are playing there.

Imo/Abia: Ha gwuga egwu nga-ahu/ebe-ahu

Anambra: Fa na-egwu egwu ebe-afu

Igbo Izugbe: Ha na-egwu egwu ebe-ahu

you better put your seemingly immense ako n'uche to use and geo-strategically analyze what government backed Fulani militants are doing around alaigbo..........this tunnel vision that our Igbo elite exhibit all the time is the reason why we have become political minorities in Nigeria. Ndi Fulani are busy building armed cells in settlements around Igboland and you are busy pontificating and arguing with Ijaws on nairaland.......if I avail you of the intelligence report on the Fulani militia movement around Nigeria ...your heart will fail you..............MNK is entitled to look for allies where he can get it, of what help has the Igbo elite been?

Is forming the ESN right? Yes! And every sensible Igbo supports him on that.
Seeking for allies where none exist is foolish and waste of time. If MNK can spend more time in sober reflection and analysis of events occurring in SW and all parts of Nigeria rather than on talking, he would understand why there are no allies to be won in Yoruba land.

Let me analyse the Igboho situation for you.

Igboho realized that Yoruba elites like their counterparts in SE are not interested in tackling the Herdsmen issue because of their vested selfish political interests, so he tried to tackle the elites. He fired at the Ooni of Ife, he was counting on the support of the Yoruba commoners to bring their elites to their knee to do the right thing.
This isn't different from the confrontation MNK had with Igbo elites before Ohanaeze and Igbo governors went and brought in the Python when it became obvious MNK would not bend.

Unlike MNK, Igboho doesn't have support of the Yoruba commoners, because the Yoruba society is built on respect of the elders and not respect of what is right or who is doing the right thing. So while Igbo grassroot backed MNK to tackle and insult Igbo elites, Yoruba commoners wanted Igboho to go apologize to Yoruba elites in the name of Omoluabi. The Yoruba commoners are held down by their gerontology culture, the Igbo commoners are not.
Igboho simply cannot fight on without Yoruba commoners support, so he had a mini exile in Germany where he reassessed his options and realized that Yoruba commoners were not worth throwing his life away for, if they are going to support their erring elders over him. In one breath, the Yoruba commoners want Igboho to help them chase Herdsmen away, and in another breath they want him to do so while respecting their elites whose interest involves letting the herdsmen stay in Yorubaland just to stay in good book of their(Yoruba elites) Fulani political benefactors. The Yoruba commoners therefore suffer from cognitive dissonance, and Igboho is wise enough to not get caught in their maze.
Igboho has done what every reasonable person in his position would do. He has surrendered to the Yoruba elites.

So effectively speaking, there are no allies to be won from SW as things stand,as Igboho has been forced to bend the knee to the Yoruba elites who like their Igbo counterparts are sell outs.

If Kanu had done his homework well, he would have realized this and stop setting Ndiigbo up in the name of useless alliance where non exist.

Balkan:
forget that igboid boy. He is empty. A coward and sabo.

Any Igbo that refuses to be under the brainwashing agenda of your demigod , becomes a Sabo.

Jisinu ike.

Tranquillity360:
Your opinion but i still disagree with you and support Kanu on this.



That is why we are democrats.

OK. I understand. We can agree to disagree. Nsogbu adiro.

okeyglm:
udele check the name of the former local government chairman. https://m.facebook.com/EgboronyiCommunityCrsNigeria/posts/612689155486217

So because she bears Amadi, she is now Igbo? Lol!
Let me tell you. Northern cross river groups bear Igbo sounding names like Igwe, Egbonna, Ibe, etc.
But they are not Igbos and their language are no way related to Igbo language.

Balkan:
coward like you. Leave this thread like fool you are. Your note are.

Coward!

Another IPOB member. All you do is throw expletives around.
Zero independent thinking. Ikegwulu!

Tranquillity360:
You may think you are wise but you can't be wiser than all.

Taking advantage of problem between your enemies is not foolishness.


Kanu knows that arresting of Sunday will help to wide the gap between the two alie and enemies of his goal.


On normal day,no Igbo suppose put mouth on issue concern the two.

If this is his goal. Then keeping quiet rather than being loquacious would help him better.

The Yorubas are not stupid people, so there is no way Kanu talks will influence their actions. Kanu would simply make himself a clown and expose Ndiigbo as pawn in Yoruba chase game with the North.

Let him learn to keep silent . Silence is golden and gets more things accomplished. It also leaves your opponents guessing what your next moves would be thereby allowing you with better room to manoeuvre things to your own favor going forward.

OP makes a good case. Especially on IPOB and MNK stupid fascination with Yorubas.

Tranquillity360:
Kanu know what is doing ok.

Unfortunately, he knows nothing.
He needs to be saved from himself before he put us all in danger.

Sadly he has surrounded himself with people who are incapable of independent thought process, so they have deified him, such that no one can correct him now within IPOB ranks.
All he has with him are YES men.

afube:
You are a complete slowpoke........bloody e warrior.All you vandals are interested in is 2023 politics......while fulani unwashed teenagers forcefully have carnal knowledge of your mothers in their farms.........Get ready for the inevitable war that is upon us already. ...annoying lout.

Kitikpa! Onye eriri eri. Ubulu eke!

Did Yorubas ask for KANU help to save Igboho? Did Igboho ask for Kanu help?

Why can't Kanu allow Ndiigbo have a rest small and let FG and Igboho/FG battle small. Why must Kanu drag us into things we have no reason getting linked with?
Where is his ako na uche? Uche unu ezukwalu ezu?

Oge obuna "chocho chocho!" Ire Kanu ana agba ka tap.
Onweghi ike imechite onu for once , nolu na akuku watchia ka ife si aga.

Ebe obuna akuru gbolorom na Nigeria, ihe na agbasatalu Ndi Igbo, Kanu ebilie bulu onu ya tinye na ya, emesia obulu Ndiigbo ga-ebuna ife na enweghi ka osi gbasara anyi.

Tranquillity360:
If you are a truly Igbo man you will know the game Kanu is playing.

Kanu knows the zoo government hates him and will always want to do opposite of what Kanu want.


Use your brain.Moreover Igbo man doesn't stand and watch injustice against others.

That's stupidity. Wisdom is keeping silent and watch things behind the scenes. That way you benefit more without getting involved.

Igboho had dissociated himself from Kanu , Yorubas and Igboho never asked for Kanu help.

Why is Kanu always eager to stay in the news? Why all this desire to seek attention? A leader accumulate and evoke awe through calculated silence, such that whenever he speaks, people listen.

Kanu is like a radio without battery. Always getting himself and Ndiigbo involved in issues we have no link with.

IPOB and MNK are pathetic lots.
Begging for unity up and down. Shameless lots.
What is the link between Ndiigbo and Yorubas?

Did Igboho ask for KANU help?

Kedu udili ife ifele bu udili ife nka. Tufia!

okeyglm:
another lunatic on the loose. I'm sure you have never passed to Abi.

I'm sure you must be an IPOB member. Many of you are impervious to rational thinking and quick at throwing expletives around. Zero decorum, zero tact, zero knowledge. Just empty and loud, bringing endless disgrace to Ndiigbo.

Tell me the name of the town in Abi where Igbo is spoken as first language.

Logan23:
Thwre are also Igbo speakers in Abi local govt area and Liyel imoke is one of them. He is an igbo man and speaks igbo fluently

There are no Igbo speakers in Abi LGAs. Liyel Imoke speak Igbo because he schooled in Igbo land.

OfoIgbo:
Yes, his dad was killed and cut to pieces by the Ijaws for being assertive of his Igbo heritage. Known fact.

Anyway, while I admire the doggedness of his dad, and his supreme sacrifice for asserting his Igboness, Anyway it is still fresh in our memory how a few Ikwerres have sided our detractors, which include Ijawcitizen and Buhari, in their attempt to cut Igbos down.

Ijawcitizen take note

K

Well, look what we have here! An Obi Wali descendant

Where was he when the likes of Wike and Omehia were dancing their Igbophobic Surugede dance?

Yeah! I thought as much, he kept quiet, not a single press release from him.

My opinion on Ikwerre is well known on this forum, so no point flogging a dead horse. Ohanaeze is making a ridicule of themselves. If you must give an Igbo from Rivers state a post in Ohanaeze, look no farther than Ndoki, Asa communities in Oyigbo LGA and Egbema in Rivers state. It shouldn't be that hard to not send person wey no send you, should it?

Logan23:
Keep quiet Awusa-Afonja, Liyel imoke is an Ika IGBO man.

Imoke is from Itigidi town in Abi LGA.
His ethnic group is called Agbo or Legbo.
They are not Igboid or anyway related to Igbo language. They are Ekoid.

Imoke married an Igbo woman from Enuani Delta state.

There are indigenous Igbos in Cross River, but Imoke and his Abi people are not Igboid. The Igbos in Cross River are found in Obubra LGA of the state, they are called Isobo.

See a thread I made about them:https://www.nairaland.com/3425009/meet-isobos-igbo-speaking-tribe

NkanAkpanika:
I don't need to insult you , since your moniker is not familiar but read the full article again and also show were all those states you listed are found in the table below

Imo state seem to have more medium and small scale as well as estate plantations than Akwa Ibom.
While Akwaibom have by far the largest wild groove.

forgiveness:
Olukumi speaks Igbo as second language but still retains their Yoruba language.

There is actually no group called Olukumi in Aniocha, they are called ODIANI .

And they speak Igbo as first language and not as second language.

That Olukumi are Yoruba is a historical misinformation.
The kings in Olukumi are of Ondo origin, but they didn't meet the land empty. They met indigenous Igbos there who accepted their leadership.
So when the king was saying that Odiani migrated from Yoruba, that's not the full story. The full story is that the royal family were Yoruba soldiers from Owo side who were sent on expedition to Aniocha by Oba Bini, they loved the people and decided to settle amongst them and were made kings.

See:http://ugboduanioma..com/2018/11/a-brief-untold-history-about-igbo.html?m=1

Well I agree with him.
Multiethnic Biafra with the tower of Babel called non Igbo groups in SS , the type IPOB and Nnamdi KANU are canvassing for, will be worst than South Sudan. And no sensible Igbo should support such disaster. Multiethnicity is a big disadvantage to national cohesion. There is a reason the Biblical God scattered the people building to heaven by giving them multiple languages. The non Igbo clans in SS will be a big liability to Biafra being a viable country, and any Igbo seeking to have them in Biafra is an Enemy of Igbo land.

A Monoethnic Biafra comprising of SE and all proudly Igbo and Igbo speaking clans in SS, will on the other hand have all the necessary ingredients to go on and be a viable progressive country.

Omuaro38:
Even their women swoon over Igbo guys, I've seen lots of them on social media exude their unfiltered fetishes for lots of Igbo entertainers like Flavor Nabania and the likes. Unfortunately we don't find them appealing enough, na just to dey provide steady and free premium strafing their women sabi do pass .

But on a side note, I still insist the best looking women in the Niger Delta are Ibibio women, closely followed by Eshan women in terms of beauty.

You are spot on , on Esan and Ibibio women.

Esans have always intermarried with the Igbo(Anioma) , so it reflects on their phenotypic features quite unlike the edoid tribes.

In fact many Esan communities assimilated many Igbo speaking people in the past. You will struggle to differentiate Esans from Igbos by mere physical looks.
https://www.nairaland.com/3463205/igbo-speaking-people-inter-relationship

Ibibio/Efik and Annang women are very beautiful and they know it.

okigbojihad:
lol there ladies are ugly asf!

i wonder wat creation i'm going to classify dem as....

there ancestors really did dem bad by implanting such ugly seeds into dem.

I belong to Ijaw social media platforms. Everyday their ladies will be crying about how their men leave them for Igbo wives and Mistresses.

Its usually a recurrent topic in their platforms.

alohman:
The so called Effium indigins are the land grabbers. They migrated from Cross river. Effium belong to Ezzas let me tell you anybody that kills an Ezza man has taken a loan that must be paid so be warned.

Please don't bring that division here.
Both Ezza and Effium are Igbos.

You lots should sort yourselves out ASAP.

Misterone:
improve the standard of living with mouth. shiooo. why don't you do it now with your governors. right now the SE does not generate even a faden to the federation account, they only collect. what then would Biafra use to improve the standard of living

Since SE don't contribute anything to your dead Nigeria, shouldn't that be more reason for all of you to gather and expel the parasitic SE from your dead Nigeria?

How exactly is it any of your concerns if we die or survive in Biafra?
Your dead Nigeria is already a failed country and poverty capital of the world, shouldn't you be more worried about how to help yourselves and not about Biafrans?

Osagyefo98:
Who cares..Ezza are not Igboid. We are not killers

next

Ezza Ezekuna people are full blooded and bonafide Igbos.
More Igbo than you yourself could ever be.

adadike:
Am telling you. Very wicked set of people with offensive body odour. They use to send and pay Fulani herdsmen to kill off ndi effium.

Don't say what you are not sure of.
Both parties (Ezza and Effium) are not faultless.

Misterone:
with the formation of Biafra, would this stop? no. state creation in whatever form is not the solution for Nigeria. what we need is hard working leaders of integrity.

Why should the existence of Biafra be tied to absence or presence of communal clashes? Communal clashes are happening in Nigeria, why then is Nigeria still existing?

In Biafra, we would resolve our communal clashes by improving the living standard of the population.
Its that simple.

Omuaro38:
I don't even care what the Niger Delta militants decide to do, it's their issue with the FG... my only problem is that the duplicitous yoruba media will somehow find a way to blame Igbos again if the so called attack from the militants is carried out in Lagos.

Why wouldn't they rope Igbos in, when IPOB wouldn't leave minorities alone?

Ardar:
Biafra should be Igbo only. I don't know what ipob stand to gain from attracting insults from minorities.

IPOB and its leadership are a disgrace.
This constant unity begging is unbecoming.
It doesn't make sense to me.

This is madness!
