This is Ifeanyi Ossai from Nsukka:

"On his part, Coordinator of the group, Ifeanyi Ossai; Chairman, Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Enugu chapter, Hon. Solomon Onah; members of National Assembly represented by Hon. Pat Asadu and Hon. Simon Atigwe, as well as members of the state House of Assembly, represented by Hon.

Ossai is an Igbo name? Haha. Tell anybody in Nigeria that doesn't know the name that your name is Ossai and have them guess where you are from. Ugbo is a Bini word and name as you have been enlightened on already. Aboh ancient names are clearly non-Igbo names

Ossai is Igbo name.
I bet we have more Ossai from Nsukka than we have from the whole Delta North.
Shows how little you know about Igbo tribes.
Bini is too small to have given Igbos the word Ugbo.
My guess is that Bini borrowed Ugbo from Igbos, because Farm is called Ugbo all the way from Anambra to Ebonyi, Abia, Enugu and Imo.

clefstone:
so the name Aboh and the many prefixed Aboh towns in the SE are the similar culture you could point at. Very funny. What is the meaning of Aboh in Igbo and why are all the Abohs in SE prefixed on the names of those towns as seen in Aro- bearing towns.

Since you have failed to answer my question, I ask again: aside language what are the cultural similarities between the Abohs and Igbos. Let's start with Igbo enwe eze

Igbo enwe eze means that there is no one king for all Igbo tribes.
On the other hand, it also emphasizes the Democratic nature of most Igbo clans.
There were ofcourse Igbo tribes that had kings, but these kings were mainly titular ones, since the lands still belonged to the Umunna and not to the king per say.
Example of such is Eze Nri, Eze Aro, Eze Abiriba (Enanchioke).

We say Igbo enwe eze and this goes together with the other saying: Igbo ama eze.
This is in recognition of the fact that even when a king exists in Igbo clan, the members of the clans are never his subjects, rather he is but their representative.

Igbos generally practiced Gerontocracy somehow.
The eldest Son (Okpalaukwu/Diokpala) in an Obi/Umunna serves as the holder of the offor of the Obi/Umunna and represent the Umunna in some important town meetings,to communicate their decision which must have been agreed unanimously at the Umunna meeting.
I believe this Igbo foundational representative democracy roped in Gerontocracy is also found in Ndokwa/Ukwuani region.

Aboh uses the Igbo four market days of Eke, Orie/Olie/Oye, Afor/Ahor, Nkwo.

Aboh reveres the Igbo earth goddess Ani/Ana/Ala/Ali.

Aboh does the Igbo Mmanwu festival.

Aboh believes in a supreme being called Chukwu Olisa that lives in the sky (Igwe).

Aboh breaks the kolanut and uses it to welcome visitors as well as worship of ancestors

This argument is infact pointless, because how can you even say apart from language?
I mean a people language is the motor that convey their culture, customs and traditions.

Death is Onwu in Aboh.
Life is Ndu
People are Osa/Ora/Oha
Water is mili
Food is Nni/Nri/Ihe/Ife oriri/olili

I mean these are basic things a people can never borrow the name of them from others.

slawomir:
Damnnn niggar
Isoright....though I got no idea about this band
But I must say right from onset we have been the real niggar of Africa

No
Na tribalism of the masses dey ruin us..
Nor be politicians ...lets start telling ourselves the truth and stop pretending if not this nation will be doomed in the nearest future
When a person from the three major tribe is the president..forget it you won't see a united protest from the masses...endsar protest the north didn't participate because their son was the president
Now with the hell we have been subjected to still no protest will happen because a son from a major tribe is the president( tinubu)...same thing will also occur if igbo man is the president

The only time we can see a united protest is when a person from minority tribe becomes the president...take for example subsidy removal of Jonathan in 2012...the whole nation united and there was protest despite the cheap and low cost of things...lets stop pretending...

I love intelligent people. Thanks..you are intelligent

You are wrong on the Igbo.
No one in Igboland back failed politician except few paid sychophants.
Ndiigbo never protested against GEJ subsidy removal..
Stop roping Ndiigbo into things you know SW and North do, just to sound neutral and not be attacked by SW or Northerners, that's cowardice.

clefstone:
could you please highlight some of those Igbo culture and traditions that the Aboh people have?

Aboh as a name itself is Igbo😀.
There are more than 100 town and villages named Aboh in SE and none in Bini.
In my village Ogidi, one of the nine villages that make up the town is called Aboh-Ogidi. And nope they are not descended from Aboh in Ndokwa, it just happens that when people share language and culture, they tend to repeat words in naming places.

Onicha-Ukwuani
Onicha-Mili ( Onitsha)
Onicha Ngwa(Abia State)
Onicha Uboma (Imo state)
Onicha Enu-Nike ( Enugu)
Onicha Igbo-eze (Ebonyi)
Onicha Ugbo( Enuani)
Onicha Olona( Enuani

Not a single Onicha in Bini land, but Onicha Ukwuani are supposed to be Bini Descendants.
Make it make sense.

wesley08:
I will ignore all the nonsense you wrote above and focus on the question I asked. You think yourself bright but you're not so bright to discern why I specifically mentioned those 2 communities. If you were half as smart as you think yourself, you'd have researched on those and realized they're not just Urhobo and Isoko communities that share the general Isoko or Benin Bini migration story but according to your warped historical account, also have the Igbo native doctor you call "Eze Chima" as their progenitor. Yes indeed because Aboh people consider both Ozoro and Orogun communities to be our distant kins and the founder of Ozoro was a certain "Oputa". So pray tell, why are these people speaking Urhobo and Isoko? Why are you not claiming them also?

You lack common sense.
I know the story of Ozoro and Orogun well.
You can as well throw in Igbide into it.

Infact the stories of there Urhobo/Isoko speaking towns buttress my points the more.
Those towns were founded by Igbo speaking people.
But yet are Edoid speakers today.
Have you not asked yourself why?
The why is simple.
Founding does not mean that the land was empty when the founder arrived.
Founding means that the native inhabitants were not organized and didn't see themselves as one, so the founder United them, and forged them into a unit.
Ofcourse the language of the new entity will reflect the language of the overwhelming population of natives the founder met on ground.
So even though the founders of Igbide, a now Isoko speaking town migrated from Awka and Mgbidi in SE, the town already had Isoko communities on ground who accepted the leadership of the founder group and in so doing assimilated the founder group into their own language and culture.
Ofcourse the founder group will always leave their own imprints on the people too and we see this in Igbide, Ozoro and Orogun (which remained bilingual).

Again, this is common sense, but I noticed it's far from many people.
Ndiigbo are not claiming Igbide, Ozoro and Orogun because it's obvious to us that overwhelming members of those communities despite myths of Igbo founders origin were not of primary Igbo/Igboid stock which is reflected in their Edoid language today as mother tongue.

In simple terms, Ndiigbo rationally believe that the native language a people speak tells a Better story about who the majority of them are than their myths and origin stories which are usually easily distorted from time to time to serve political purpose depending on current prevailing political realities of the people, but it's almost impossible for a people to change their language.

Ologbo147:
Igbanke is bordered on all fronts by Ika communities despite being in Edo state, that is prolly why it was not eaten up. To the north it is bordered by Ekpon an Esan-Ika speaking community, to the east, it shares boundary with mbiri, an Ika speaking community in delta state. To the south, it has Agbor as neighbor, if it was encircled on 3 fronts by Bini communities, by no means it would have been eaten up, even at that, Bini presence is heavily felt in Igbanke, many of them partly bear Bini names and many of them understand Bini too. Don’t go insulting an Igbanke man in Bini thinking he will not hear you, you might be shocked

Also, In that local government, Igbanke is not among the first two biggest communities in Orhiowmon. It is common knowledge that Bini communities on the eastern flank is more densely populated than those on the western flank. Urhonigbe and Oza Aibiokunla are both bigger than Igbanke. There is nothing extraordinary about the population of Igbanke as the first two largest communities in Orhiowmon are Bini speaking

I don't think so.
Igbos generally have a live and let live mindset. They will never force their culture on you, infact, they will like to remain distinct from you so that they can always show they are not same as you. Igbo culture can be segregating rather than assimilating, everything is built on Umunna and you can only be a member by biology. This is why many non Igbos resent Igbos. When you are around Ndiigbo, you will always be constantly reminded that you are not an Igbo. It's not even subtle, it's usually blatant. Once a non Igbo experience the non inclusive nature of Igbo tradition towards non members, they tag it Igbo Tribalism and then develop hate for the Igbo. When in truth, the Igbo just want to be Igbo and don't want a foreign body in their affairs, neither will they want to be involved in yours. That's how Igbo Society is.
If Igbanke were of purely Edoid stock, they will remain Edoid speaking till today, irrespective of boundaries they have with Ika speaking towns.
In Anioma we have Odiani ( Yoruba speakers) are surrounded by Enuani Igbo speaking towns yet they retained their Yoruba dialect. We have Ebu too, they speak Igala as mother tongue and Enuani as second language.
In Ebonyi we have the Orring communities totally surrounded by Igbo speaking Ebonyi groups.
The Orring still speak Orring as mother tongue and Igbo as second language.

Igbanke is Igbo speaking because they are founded by Igbo speaking people. A few Bini migrants might have settled among them, but they were insignificant in number and were assimilated by the majority of the Igbos on ground.
Igbanke bear Bini surnames at times because of suffocating pressure applied on the people by Binis in their attempts to assimilate them.
For years Igbanke people struggled to get LG identification certificate from their LG headquarters because the Edos in charge there insist their name is Igboid and must be changed to a befitting Edoid one before handing out the certificates.
Many Igbanke also changed their Igboid names to Edoid ones during the civil war and post civil war to avoid being persecuted as Ibos!
With the depotic strangling effect of Bini on Igbanke neck, it's a miracle they have retained their Igbo dialect this far. It goes to show you how difficult it is to eradicate a people language or to make them drop it for yours even when under duress, let alone when no such empire influence or pressure exists.
This makes nonsense of the stories of Igbo speaking groups who claim to have been influenced by Igbos to drop their original non Igbo languages for Igbo one. That is impossible when you realize that not even Bini with an empire could achieve such language change on a people, not even Fulani rulers in Ilorin could change the Yoruba language of native Yorubas of Ilorin, let alone Igbos who had no such Empire or power.
It's a fantasy stories that expose deep sitted inferiority complex of Igbo speaking groups that parrot such irrational stories.

wesley08:
When you're done with these, be kind enough to offer an explanation on why a purely Isoko community like Ozoro and a purely Urhobo community like Orogun share a similar migration story from Benin with its Anioma neighbors. Since name and language are all that determines ancestry in your big and empty head, tell us why these "Igbo people" that came from Benin like Aboh people, with the latter living in Aboh for at least a generation, now speak Isoko and Urhobo languages, bear Isoko and Urhobo names and have Isoko and Urhobo culture. I can not understand for the world of me why a people cannot mind their frigging business and are so bent on rewriting other people's history. Like what the actual fork? I mentioned communities like Aboh-Ozara and Oguta in the heart of Igboland that assert Benin and Aboh ancestry that you've not been able to convince to drop their Benin and Delta identity yet you think you can come to Delta State to and rewrite a 600 year old story with your contrived and illogical bull-sheet? Where are you from and what is your own history? Have you decided if you fell from the sky or you matched down from Israel? Have you finished telling your people where they're from that you now want to tell Aboh people who they are?

You are not the brightest bulb in the Christmas tree, are you?
Isoko, Urhobo and co all speak an Edoid language, so their migration from Bini story is legit! Because Bini speaks an Edoid language too.
Language is the greatest pointer of origin.
Also Epie-Attisa in Bayelsa, Engenni in far away Rivers State have histories of Bini origin and you see this in the fact that the people despite being surrounded by Ijoid speakers,speak an Edoid language as mother tongue!

In Delta State, Odiani communities in Aniocha have history of migrants from Owo Division of Ondo and we see that in the fact that some of them speak a Yoruboid language as mother tongue.
Ebu in same Aniocha area has history of migrants from Igala and the people speak Igala dialect as mother tongue.
Oza nogogo people in Agbor has history of migrants from Edo, and they speak an Edoid language as mother tongue.
These things are rational and not hard to figure except when one want to indulge in self delusion.
A people language will always reflect where the overwhelming population of the people originated from. It's that simple. Anything else is mere fantasy and wishful thinking.

Bini origin claimants in Oguta are no different from Jewish origin claimants in Aguleri and environment.
They are all clownish wishful dreamers. No one, not even themselves, take themselves serious.
We all know they are all suffering from inferiority complex and we are ever ready to welcome all of them back to earth when they are done.
Any claim by Igbo speaking group that traces their origin to smaller non Igbo speaking groups outside Igboland is pure fallacy and wishful thinking stories cobbled by lying ancestors suffering from inferiority complex.
No Anthropologist will take such serious.

Yes! Aboh couldn't have originated from Bini and not be speaking an Edoid dialect as mother tongue. It's impossible! If you say a few founding fathers of Aboh, maybe the rulling class are of Bini origin, maybe I can reluctantly agree, but there is no denying the fact that overwhelming (at least 90%) of people in Aboh today are originated from Igbo speaking ancestors which is why the language of Aboh stayed Igbo. This is common sense.

clefstone:
Very angry man. You think we don't know the Igbo people to the West of the Niger? Even inside Aboh we have people of Igbo stock who have your values. You probably do not have the ability to understand these things because you are from a closed group.

On the names of the Children of the founder. Esumei Ukwu, the founder of Aboh had two children: Ugbo and Ogwezi. Ogwezi's children included Ossai, Ojugbeli and Ozegbe. These names are 90% Edoid names e.g Ozegbe, Ossai, Ugbo. The same is observed in the Surnames/family names of the Onitsha people

The Aboh language is no doubt Igboid, if you like a dialect of Igbo. The Igbo language is said to have originated just south of the confluence area and of course along the Lower Niger where Aboh is located. The language spread to the eastern hinterland as a result of trade along the Lower Niger. The people of today's South East therefore lost their language to this dominant language of trade but we would never know what they spoke before maybe something similar to Ibibio. In those times, trade languages dominated, for example, you would notice that trade items coming from the North bear Hausa names even in the Igbo language as Hausa was another dominant trade language. For example rice in Hausa is Shinkafa, while in Igbo it's Oshikapa, Onion in Hausa is Albasa and in Igbo it's Yabash as the Igbo speaking people along the Niger pronounce the S sound as -Sh. It is very easy to understand why a people that migrated to these parts would lose their original language after centuries to this very strong language of trade which they participated in so actively. The vestiges of the original language of the Aboh people still exist though

You are writing nonsense as usual.
Igbo language didn't originate from Aboh, don't be si.lly.
Igbos migrated from a Northern direction and settled West and East of the Niger at same time.
This happened long long time ago.
Why it would appear like towns in Western Igbo have recent founder stories is because of the turbulence Bini empire exacted on the area forced many pockets of aboriginal Igbo speaking communities in those places to rearrange themselves through unification to for towns so as to annul Bini threat.
It's the rearrangement and formation of new towns from hitherto ancient Igbo communities in Western Igbo, that gives the impression of new foundation stories, whereas in actual sense of it, the area Igbo speaking ancestors of Igbo towns in West of Niger River are as ancient as those in SE.
Igbos settled in SE and Anioma same time and at many times crossed the River to and fro to establish new communities on both sides by reuniting with those Igbos already on ground there.
For example the Nri party( Adaigbo and his brother that founded Akwukwu-Igbo, Ute-Okpu, etc) didn't meet those places empty.
They meant Igbo speaking groups on ground who they reunited to found the towns.
When Ozor left Ubulu uku in Anioma to found Ozubulu in Anambra, he didn't meet the land empty, he met Igbos there already and he arranged and United the pockets of hitherto villages to form Ozubulu.
Nnebisi didn't meet Asaba empty. He met Ezeanyanwu and other Igbo speaking communities in Asaba that he United to establish modern Asaba.
So all these senseless Bini origin stories is nonsense.
Igbos here heavily populated on both sides of the Niger, any unfortunate Bini migrant into Western or Eastern Igbo will be outnumbered by 99:1 and forced to assimilate by the Igbo speaking aboriginals on ground.
This is tee truth. This is why Igbanke, Owariuzo, etc is still Igbo speaking despite being in Edo state.
The sheer population of aboriginal Igbo speaking people there was too much and quickly absorbed insignificant Bini migrants without any fuss while retaining the Igbo fundamentals.

I scored 289 in my time, it was paper and pencil too. I went to public school.
I bet with CBT I could have been higher.
They didn't allow calculators those days too.
All my friends scored around that range, all above 280 because we studied together.

You know what to do.
Tell your senate and house of Representatives to officially expel Igbos from Nigeria.
That's how Malaysia did it.

Singapore citizens wanted out of Malaysia, but Singapore lawmakers wanted to stay in Malaysia.
Malaysian law makers held secret meeting without the knowledge of Singapore parliamentary members and secretly expelled Singapore from Malay federation.
Singapore law makers were saddened by the development but the people were happy and today both countries are better off separate than together.
So yeah, Igbo commoners want Independence from Nigeria but Igbo politicians don't. So help us and expel Igbos from the country.

Have you seen any igbo with light skin and blue/green eyes that's older than 60?

Lol!
My great grandpa was very light skinned, he was called Nwokocha.
Any Igbo you see bearing names like Okocha/Okorocha, Nwokocha as surname all had a very fair male descendant.
For the females, light skinned ones were called "Ojiugo".
Igbo slaves were called "Red Eboe" in Americas because of significant number of them being light skinned.

You yourself are a fluff of fantasy, nay; a wisp of phantasmagoria.

we defer in the bolded bro.
I will accept a south east only Biafra. My reasoning are;
1. It is better than nothing.
2. At 29,525km² it comprises 72% of Igboland's approximately 41000km² which is good enough.
3. Apart from Port Harcourt (which is ikwereland) the other places left behind do not really offer us any strategic importance but demanding for them will slow us down.
4. An independent south east will have its own passport, its a blank canvas of goodwill. We can have more countries to visit visa-free than Nigeria if we utilise it properly.
5. An independent SE will have military and local laws to tackle Fulani menace without interference from Nigeria.
6. I will sacrifice Asaba if in exchange, we can get assurances and assistance from Nigeria to keep rivers flowing into Biafra free and navigable.
7. It is better than nothing again..we can get those lost territories back over time like Cameroon got south Cameroon back.

Not to mention a free seat at the UN general council where you can negotiate with the big boys in international politics.
You make a good sense.

This data can be better Interpreted when we see the amount of mega watts of electricity allocated to each zone and then compare it with how much they made.

For example if Enugu distribution company got 272MB and Ibadan distribution company got 500MB, you wouldn't expect amount generated to be similar.
My people stay in Enugu, and we hardly get light.
We use prepaid, so if they gave us more light, we will burn our units faster and buy more units, enabling Enugu distribution company to generate more money, but this doesn't happen.
SE hardly get electricity, we depend alot on generators.

For the avoidance of doubt, the boundaries of Igboland and Igbo clans are well documented in pre Nigeria amalgamation colonial documents easily available on internet and major online libraries around the world.
So this talk of South East by Igbophobic entities is at best laughable.
Ndiigbo know our boundaries and territories, we we not force any Igbo speaking Group in these territories to join a future Igbo country, but we will demand for a plebiscite for them to formally exclude themselves from Igbo union for purpose of posterity and for future generations to know that their people rejected the Noah's Ark when it came around.

mrblessed:
This is not the position of IPOB and it's the greatest albatross to the agitation. Nnamdi Kanu said he rejected such proposal from the government of Nigeria that included only five states in the southeast when he arrested in 2015; what makes you think he is willing to accept it now?
My thinking is that, the government of Nigeria is ready to grant a Biafra that would not include the south-south region.

What is SS?
Igboland extends much into a major part of what you call SS, those Igbo speaking groups in SS who accept their Igbo tag will Never be left behind by SE.
Infact we will go to war for their sake, like Russia is doing in Ukraine on behalf of ethnic Russians there.
These are the Igbo speaking parts of SS:

1.Delta:

Aniocha South and North
Oshimili North and South
Ika South East and North
Ukwuani Ndokwa East and West

Total of 9 LGAs

2.Rivers:

Ikwerre LGA
Emohua
PHLGA
Obio-Akpor
Etche
Omuma
ONELGA
Ahoada East
Half of Ahoada West
Opobo

3.Cross River

Few Indigenous Igbo speaking communities in Abi and Obubra LGAs

4.Akwa-Ibom.

Ohaobu town in

5.Edo

Igbanke town

6. Bayelsa

Osekwenike
Abuetor

Then scattered Igbo speaking Indigenous towns in Kogi East and Benue .

Ndiigbo will insist on a referendum on those places to determine their stand.

helinues:
Asari has told you people to return back to your region.

After returning, re call all your elected politicians, all the appointed people from SE and then stop collecting monthly Oyel money.

Boom, you will easily have your Utopia without anyone bugging

Is that how Malaysia expelled Singapore?
Go to Wikipedia and read it up, Malaysian law makers secretly did a session without knowledge of their Singaporean members and officially expelled them from the federation against their own will.

It's obvious Igbo law Makers don't want to leave NIGERIA, but Igbo commoners want to.
So all you need do is get your law makers to expell Ndiigbo from Nigeria without the awareness of Igbo law makers.

Study ratio in maths
if they had carried out a fair action it won't even matter


How many Yorubas and Hausas led vs Igbos?
How many Igbos were killed?
How did the coup favored the Northerners?


People killed-

Civilian

Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa (North)
Premier Ahmadu Bello (North)
Premier Samuel Ladoke Akintola (West)
Finance Minister Festus Okotie-Eboh (Midwest- Itsekiri)
Ahmed Ben Musa (Bello's Senior Assistant Secretary for Security)(North)

Col. Ralph Shodeinde(West)
Col. Kur Mohammed (North)
Lt. Col. Abogo Largema(North)
Lt. Col. James Pam(North)

Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe
(Unegbe was the only Igbo military officer killed by the plotters. A reason stated that he was killed because of his refusal to hand over keys of the armory to the plotters, however, writers like Alexander Madiebo who wrote about the coup, proposed that he could not have had keys to the armory but was killed because of his close relationship to Brigadier Maimalari)

Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke (West)
PC Yohana Garkawa (North)
Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo (North)
PC Akpan Anduka (East but Akwa Ibom)
PC Hagai Lai(North)
Philip Lewande(west)


Looking at the composition of the coupists and their carefully selected victims one will nothing, but ask why only the politicians and military officers of some sections of the country if at all it was a revolution?


This was purely an Igbo agender. Get it into your hateful skull.

You are writing nonsense as usual from your Yoruba hateful devilish heart.
The region with most turbulence that led to the coup to start with, was the Western and Northern region.
The power tussle between Akintola (with the help of Saraduna and Balewa) and Awolowo had set the region on fire (Wild wild west and operation Wetie), the coup plotters set out from the beginning to restore peace in the West and to return Awolowo to power.
Common sense says that West and North were always going to be the theatre of the coup and not East.

None of the major participants involved in the coup ever called it an Igbo coup. Not even with the benefit of hindsight.Ademoyega wrote the book "why we struck" and he was adamant it was never an Igbo coup.

You can as always hold unto your bigoted falsehoods since it makes you happier.
If there was no social media, your kind would have called End SARS an Igbo protest to destroy Lagos since Lagos took the major blow in terms of vandalization of infrastructures and many Igbos including IPOB and MNK were fully in support of the riot.. Infact, many bigots from SW were already labelling the riot Igbo plan to destroy Lagos, the threads about that are many in NL here. If you still had Monopoly to media, you would have spinned naratives as usual, with the likes of the Igbo DJ that had to flee to Canada and Charley boy as your ready made ingredients to use to spin your wicked naratives.
It was social media that saved Ndiigbo from you lots devilish hearts!

Raf4:
That's the problem you loud-mouth things are bringing upon yourselves always. Every individual/tribe is breaking through in Yorubaland/SW and no one/tribe is making any noise about it apart from you unruly noisy distant neighbours (you did same in Ghana, SA, India, UAE etc and you know how are still facing the consequences).
Yorubas are making waves across the globe, from UK to US to Canada etc yet we see as normal things.

Go and sit down.
You lots are the main loudmouthed lots.
You assigned the title of "most educated" to yourselves even when no stats prove so, because you are boastful and loudmouthed lots.
Igbos are still making waves in that UK, US and Canada, so what the heck are you on about?

You have too much victim mentality and inferiority complex and it is eating you up, even the influential people from your region. Yorubas are known to be pioneers of education, entertainment and mostly all Nigerian parastatals started in my region. The highest number of professors, institutions, the first and all are from the SW. The economic capital of the country is here, The best in the entertainment industry is here. We can not underestimate PO's influence on education, but its insane to compare a region with the same size and economy as Oyo state with the whole SW.
You are trying, at least you are better than the North, but you make too much noise, you are always the victim, you see yourself as inferior thereby trying to push the narrative that you are better. You all need a kind of mental over haulage.

You lots are still unfortunately living in 1960s when you had Monopoly to media and were dishing out dick massaging stereotypes for yourselves.
Look, we have WAEC, NECO, Unity school enrolment stats , etc for the past 10 decades now and Yorubas have been coming last in Southern Nigeria.
You have nothing but empty boasts. Your SW is still building mud houses in 2023, I witnessed it in Ondo.
You lots are backward and it reflects in your political choices, the aesthetics of your cities and villages, the NECO and WAEC states performance stats, etc.

FuckkMOD:
May I know the location of this Deeper Life High school?
I would be glad if you can state where this school is located.

Lol!
Yorubaland is 60% Islam and 40% Christan.
You have roughly the same population as Igbos in Nigeria.
So what this means is that the money used to build this school in Yorubaland was majorly contributed or scammed off Igbo Christians who by sheer superior population constitute the majority of Deeper life members.

Don't worry, when the message we are currently preaching takes full hold, many Igbos will see the economic sabotage they are doing to Igboland by being members of these Yoruba churches who will always out of Tribalism repatriate the money to Yorubaland to build structures that Igbo members have to go to Yoruba land to access.

When our message hit home, these your scam house churches will run empty and you will have to recruit your hateful Yoruba Muslims to fill in the space Igbo Christians will leave there.

GodSon1900:
Majority of the leaders were igbos

And their actions favored mainly igbos

So it was an igbo coup

No one is twisting anything the history is there

So it's now about majority and minority?

How exactly did their actions favor Igbo?
Nigeria had 4 regions, Igbo was Premiers in two of the 4. After the coup, Igbo were just premier of 1 out of the four.

Maybe if we didn't have social media, hateful beings like you would have also claimed that the outcome of the End SARS riots favoured Igbos since Lagos was vandalized and Igboland wasn't.

See let me burst your hateful propaganda your hateful lying parents passed to you.

The first coup favoured the SW the most.
Why, it restored peace to the region by eliminating Akintola who had set the region on fire and returned Awolowo to power.
Whereas in contrast, the outcome of the coup set East which was hitherto the most stable and peaceful region into chaos with Zik left out of power while inexperienced Ojukwu took over.
So who the coup favoured and who it didn't favor is subject to personal opinion and interpretations.
But what is sacrosanct is that the coup had elements from all parts of Nigeria represented.
From planning stage to execution! A Yoruba general Ademoyega who was involved in that coup as a major participants even wrote a book to dispel the so called "Igbo coup" tag, but you hateful beings would rather clutch to your hateful options as it's like oxygen to you.

alabler:
Stop this victim mentality. You started your history from the civil war without mentioning the cause of it?

Did you know that there was nothing like military rule in Nigeria before. That majority Ibo soldiers planned coup and ki!!ed all the political leaders in Northern Nigeria, Western Nigeria, but didn't touch their leaders in Eastern Nigeria, thus soaring the first seed of ethnic mistrust in the country; only to put an Igbo soldier Ironsi as head of state;

If Igbo soldiers that planned the coup had Ki!!ed all the political leaders across all region without leaving the Eastern political leaders, maybe Nigeria and the Igbo story might be better of today!!!

Stop talking nonsense
The first coup had Igbo and Yoruba plotters and many Northern foot soldiers.
You can't twist narrative to suit your bigotry.

If we are not in social media age, many of you hateful beings would have twisted "End SARS protest" to Igbo protest.
You were already wickedly spreading the falsehoods of Igbos destroying Lagos and Oba Lagos Palace, until the riots that destroyed Oba Lagos Palace were videoed and it was seen that they were actually native Yorubas.

Imagine if it were in the days you hateful beings controlled the media and there was no social media to balance things, you would have successfully spinned the narrative of Igbos instigating End SARS to destroy Lagos.
You would have also stylishly hidden the identity of those your hoodlums that destroyed Oba palace and claimed they were Igbo.
Then you will use that to justify your hateful plans to start destroying Igbo property in Lagos and even harm Igbos.

Then you will pass the falsehoods to your hateful children to continue where you stopped.

One day, Ndiigbo will successfully separate ourselves from you lots and your hate will be channelled towards each other.

In what seems like a convergence of similar ideas, The CEO of Equity Concepts entertainments, Rowland Okorie, met with the Executives of Africa’s biggest club, The Peoples Club of Nigeria, International (PCNI) Arlington Branch, Texas. 

The meeting was an impromptu one due to sudden notification but was honoured by Rowland Okorie after information reached him that the club was hosting its major annual meeting in the great city of Las Vegas. 

After listening to Rowland Okorie's narrative on the agenda and plans of Project Nwafor Igbo, the Chairman of the club, Hon Chief Anthony Ejike Nwedo (Ononenyi na Nsugbe, Ononenyi na Umuneke Udi)  stressed the need for Igbo lands to attract foreign investors. 

He made bold to say that the club would  partner with project NWAFOR Igbo to help further market the project via its network of high profile individuals.  We will use all our power to garner investors , we must make igbo land look like Las Vegas, he declared.

According to the PRO  of The Peoples Club of Nigeria, International (PCNI),  Hon. Chief Eddie Uzoigwe (Azua Okwe), 'this year's annual event was organised with an effort to look into what makes an Igbo man proud. He further added that Project NWAFOR Igbo is a powerful initiative that will bring everyone to one spot and on the same table to discuss matters of mutual benefit and communal growth.

The national patron, Hon. High Chief, Sir Eddie Osuagwu (Osinaigwe Obowo 1, Oduigbo USA) who is the former Chairman of the club stressed the need to be part of the process and called on the global unity of Igbos, “we must speak in one voice” he added.

Other members of the club . Amann Okonkwo (The Ugwumba of Nwewi)  , Jude Ugbomoh The Rock of Agbor, a real estate giant were also present and made very valuable contributions.

Also present and very vocal was Hon Ozo Ethelbert Odo,Special Branch Officer (Anya Afuche) who started the conversation that sparked up the meeting on a social media group where he posted his location. This was only a 2 minutes ride from Rowlands  location at that moment and as he was invited  to come for the meeting, Rowland had to hit the road..

Staunch member of the club,  Albert Lekwuwa  popularly called big fish noted the absence of  his strong allie The First Vice Chairman Hon Chief Ifeanyi Onyia (Onwa Gburu Gburu) who was on an unavoidable trip to Nigeria and also Hon. Attorney Lui Akwuroha regretted his absence as well.

The meeting climaxed  with dramatic performances from the group’s dutchess of All Motown known for singing Motown songs with a splash of DooWop! and it was the best ending of the night with too much to go with.
The Nigerian powerful women and their hubbies called it a night out with my best friend.
