yarimo:
keep your chinonso to yourself, as for now congratulations to HILDA BACI

Keep your Hilda Baci to yourself.
I feel like celebrating Chinonso Eche.
Go and drink water and rest thereafter if you are that pained.

Lifestone:
They always feel insecure to another person's success. It's a very sad thing

You are the one feeling insecure about an Igbo man publicizing his brothers achievements.
That jealousy and bitterness will be the end of you if you don't stop.
The message is clear, Hilda Baci is not the first or only GWR holder in Nigeria.

There are even two Akwa-Ibom boys one holds two GWR and the other holds 8, and both are members of same Chukwuebuka academy as Chinonso Eche.
I will be opening threads for them too.

Ever8090:
Igbo man, allow the young lady to enjoy her moment,keep Chinedu's 1 million Guinness record in the backyard for the moment thank you.

Young Man, you are not in position to tell me who to celebrate and who not to.
Move on.

This thread was inspired by comments on this thread https://www.nairaland.com/7689560/niger-deltan-hilda-baci-breaks#123158954 by some Igbophobic people who
insinuated that Igbos haven't produced a GWR holder.

This thread aims to dispel such falsehoods.

Amazing Kid Eche" has done it again.

After achieving his first Guinness World Records title in November 2019 for most consecutive football (soccer) touches in one minute while balancing a football on the head with a remarkable 111 touches, Chinonso Eche (Nigeria) declared it wouldn't be his last record.

Always pushing his boundaries and working hard to improve, Chinonso has stayed true to his word, breaking three new freestyle records:

Fastest time to 1,000 football touches while balancing a ball on the head: 7 min 46 sec
Most football headers in a prone position in one minute: 233
Most football touches in a seated position while balancing a ball on the head in one minute: 197

The now 13-year-old freestyle star from Anambra State who lives in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria has also gained a spot among the Young Achievers in the Guinness World Records 2022 book.

His skills even received international recognition from FIFA.

Chinonso decided to attempt his first record to "prove to the world that anything is possible when you believe".

Congratulations to Hilda Baci on achieving the GWR which is still subject to ratification by Guinness World Records committee.

But many Nigerians don't know that another Nigerian, a young boy called Chinonso Eche who hails from Anambra State and lives in Warri with his parents, already holds 4 Guinness world record since 2021 having achieved the first one in 2019!

GeneralPula:
Congrats to her..

Imagine say nah from SE, internet for don burst with massive chest beating..

Chinonso Eche from Anambra holds not just 1 GWR, but 4!
Let that sink in.

I can't answer all the replies I got on my post.
But the general argument from those that replied were these:

1. Igbo politicians in APC should not expect fairness and equity in distribution of posts since their people back home are anti APC.

2. Igbo politicians support for non Igbos or bridge building is a waste of time and they will never be rewarded with any top post, as far as their people back home are not in support of them.

3. Igbos should not expect Senate position from APC since they have had senate position from 1999- 2007 under PDP.


Now let me tackle these arguments.

1. If Igbo politicians in APC should not expect fairness and equity from other APC members despite them going against their own people back home, cursing their own people, denigrating their own People to please Nigerians and be called detribalised Igbos, doesn't it go to show that they are f.oolish to not see that they are disgracing themselves and their own people for a people that will never treat them fairly or offer them equity.
Only a people without dignity or group pride goes to a place they are not considered equals or valued and that sums up Igbo politicians in APC.

2. Common sense will tell that by giving big posts to the Igbos in APC who went against their own people to stand with APC, you will prove to Igbos that APC actually means well for Ndiigbo and that way you can win the region back for APC?
In 1999 SW was an AD region, they voted against OBj in the presidential election.
But when they saw the love PDP showed to OBJ, they ended up allowing PDP to make big inroads in SW in 2003 in bid to help OBJ get re-elected.
APC will have to reward Igbos already in their midst with top posts before Ndiigbo back home will believe that APC is not an anti-Igbo party.
It cannot be the other way round.

3. Good argument. But why was this same argument not made when Tinubu despite OBJ 8yrs presidency and Osibanjo 8yrs VP post, was still picked in the APC primaries?
Yes I know you will still go back to shouting "bridge building", but when we show you that Ogbannaya Onu has been building bridge since 1999, you will turn round again and claim that Ogbannaya Onu brings nothing to the table because his Igbo people didn't vote APC president. But then we remind you that OBJ became PDP candidate in 1999 despite SW not being a PDP zone then.
You will still change goal post.
So it's obvious you will hide under any redundant excuse to push your Igbophobic rhetorics.


NB: I am totally in support of Igbo APC senators not getting the Senate presidency, because it would mean that they were rewarded for betraying their own people back home.
It's more satisfying for me as an Igbo to see them crushed and humiliated by Igbophobic Nigerians they pitched their tents with while denigrating their own people back home.

XY23:
Lol. The bridge OUK has been building since 1999 is not due for commissioning in your famous 'one Nigeria'? At least, no one can argue he's detribalized. What disqualifies him but qualifies Akpabio? Both are criminals, both are ambitious, but OUK is a better party man. Igbophobia is real, and the sooner they realize it and some trying to pander to the blackmail of 'building bridges', the better for them. 4 yrs time, Umahi will also be discredited one way or another. You're all hypocrites.

We all saw how Ogbannaya Onu was rewarded for the bridge he started building since 1999.

Man was loyal to Buhari from ANPP days to CPN to APC.
He became a victim of Igbophobia, was left crying like a baby in APC primaries with Buhari and co laughing at him.

Igbo politicians are mentally challenged. I look at them and I laugh.
Where is Rochas Okorocha, was he not once the darling of the Igbophobic Nigerians for his "bridge building"( which to these Igbophobe actually means being self hating and insulting fellow Igbos)?

Umahi always had a facial of someone mentally challenged, I'm not surprised he is currently following same "Bridge building" path.

Common sense should tell you that a people who hate your people can never love you.

IgboSomalia:
Akpabio has NEVER been convicted by a court.
OUK was convicted by 2 different courts before the Supreme Court set him free based on technicalities. That is the person you are rooting for, simply because he is Igbo like you.
You are a shameless hypocrite.

God willing, by 2031, Umahi will be VP. We know you Igbos will not vote for him because he doesn't pander to your foolishness, but he will not only be VP, he will most likely be President in the future, without your support.

Lol!
Umahi will cry like Ogbannaya Onu did, but even Igbos will mock him.
He will return in shame.

OUK was busy campaigning for APC in the presidential election, saying all shit about Obi thinking Igbo haters he is trying to please will reward him.
Lol! Now he is going to harvest his own rude awakening.
Umahi time will come, it will be more comical.

Common sense should tell you that a people who hate your people cannot actually love you, because ultimately, they know that rewarding you will also mean rewarding your people.
Igbo politicians have to be the most mentally challenged creatures in Nigeria.
It's our shame that we haven't done political clean up at home but have allowed charlatans and mentally challenged people like Umahi, Ikpeazu, OUK to keep representing us politically.

ADUBA1:
That is an assertion of his true identity by lineage and not by the language of Igbo that influenced those in the West of River Niger. The place called Abavo clan was founded by Avbavbo who migrated from Benin City. The word Abavo is shortened from Avbavbo. By 1914-16, there was a clash of opinion as to whether Abavo should be administered from Benin or Agbor. As a result of this situation, there was desire that the people be administered from Benin because they claimed to originate from Benin City. Consequently, in 1914, Abavo was administered from Benin. But in 1916,:a further agitation brought them back to Agbor. In 1924, there was a trouble between the Obi and elders of Igbogili village when more than half of the village migrated to settle near Ugoneki in Benin Division. The village is known as Igbogiri. (Ref: pg. 58 of Partridge Report. Evolution of Chieftaincy Titles, pg. 186, by Prince E. B. Eweka)

Abavo didn't migrate from Bini.
Stop writing nonsense.

IyaebeTheGreat:
Development in any part of the country is welcomed, stop being tribalistic. We are one Nigeria

There is no such thing as "one" Nigeria.

CorrectionFLuid:
North should have the Senate presidency And speaker house of reps. Leave Igbos out of your madness.

And if any Igbo in APC is jostling for any position, you're at liberty to string him up, or do whatever you want with him. After all he didn't bring vote to Tinubu the chief thief....
When you kill him, We won't mourn him. We won't raise dust because of him. You will go completely Scot free.

Don't listen to any Igbo APC politician, they are not of us, they don't speak for us, and their local political value is next to none. Finito

Exactly my points.

Legitisreal:
he is just forcing himself on north eg lawan they don't really send him

How far rochas that even speaks hausa than him, how did his career end

That one built a school in Yola and give them free education.
He was always insulting Ndiigbo and they were clapping for him.
But where is he today?
Anyone or people who hates your people can never love you.
You would think that this should be fundamental and basic knowledge.
But umu-ewu julu Ala Igbo na afa ndolo ndolo ochichi will never learn.

Okwyjesus:
Calm down and take a chilled drink bros

At this stage of national politics,all those stuffs you mentioned turns secondary. SW is not asking you if Tinubu is qualified or rigged his election but occupy the seat first

Nnaa jee tukwulu Ani.
Sometimes you have to sacrifice selfish people for the safety of the group.

Tinubu and Yoruba Tribalists APC sacrificed Mulikat in 2011 to position themselves for 2015.

OUK is in Igbo enemies camp.
He must and will be sacrificed as not only future deterrence to upcoming politicians in SE seeking to follow that path, but as our grand plan to not allow enemies plant fifth columnists in our midst.

OUK is not only a bad individual in terms of being an ex convict and a looter of Abia treasury as a governor.
He is also frolicking with known Igbo haters and publicly showed the world that he voted against Obi who was not only a better candidate but also a brother of his.

We must learn to start punishing fifth columnists and selfish politicians in our midst.
It's the way forward.

OUK senate presidency is useless and brings nothing to Ndiigbo other than stupid empty bragging rights.
We have produced enough Senate presidency to know that it's useless.
The North can keep it. Or the SW can give it to SS in their bid to play divide and conquer while hoping to rob it in our faces.
We can deny them all those pleasure by denouncing both OUK and all Igbo APC senators vying for the useless post and stay with opposition.
It's not only the right thing to do, it's also the most pragmatic and futuristic reasoning thing to do.

Okwyjesus:
You may be right but Orji UZOH is dangerous in this kind of game.

He has a lot of northern allys being that he grew up there and have earned their trust. Again most SE Labour / PDP senators may end up voting for him.

Why should LP party SE vote for OUK?
Are you okay?
So we should reward a traitor and someone who rigged himself into senate by voting and making him a Senate president?
The Abia North spot OUK is occupying was won by LP. OUK did mago mago with INEC and had himself declared the winner, LP is still challenging the result at the Tribunal and it will go all the way to the supreme Court.

What message will we be passing to future politicians from SE?
That it's ok to sabotage the region for personal and selfish gains and that such betrayal will be rewarded with more power?

You must be kidding. OUK must be humiliated to serve as an example to Igbo politicians in the future.
His tears will be like sweet nectar to the rest of us.

Most reasonable Igbos would want OUK punished and not given any reward for his anti people stand in the presidential election. We want to see him disgraced and humiliated by APC and the lots he pitched his camp with.
It will be very satisfying for most Igbos.

Additionally, OUK will not last long in the Senate.
The LP candidate won the election but OUK rigged.
LP has challenged the result and it will be turned.
OUK is living on borrowed time w
If APC know what is good for them, they shouldn't make OUK the Senate president.

I remember this thread.
Taa ka bukwa gboo!

ucheicon:
Ozara is in Enugu and not Abia state. Pls correct it. Na my villa be that. It's where UNTH is located

There are up to 100 Ozara/Ozalla in Igboland.
This particular one is not in Enugu.

DeOTR:
You're not getting the gist. Any place can be the state capital. The guy I quoted said that Igbos have at least 40% influence in Delta. I'm just telling him it's a lie. The first two most influential ethnic groups in Delta are not Igboid.

Who are these first two ethnic groups in Delta State?

It is also said that Fintri is not a "true muslim".
He was originally Christian and only converted to Islam just when he was about to start his political career.
Is this story true?

pongwa:
it is understandable that Imo has more population density but this is because Ondo is bigger in size. A simple GIS analysis will confirm this for you. In terms of infrastructure, a simple Google search could bail you out

Some of you Yorubas hardly travel outside your region.
Imo has more population than Ondo. It's not about landmass.
See 2006 last official census result.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nigerian_states_by_population

As of infrastructure, I have stayed in Ondo.
Ondo is full of mud houses.

This is the truth.

Imo has better infrastructures.

pongwa:
development is based on physical infrastructures on ground like schools, hospital, housing, industrial or commercial hubs etc. Factor these indices and you would understand my stand.
On the other hand, the imagery shown for Imo is less dense than that of Ondo.

Imo has more population density than Ondo.
Ondo doesn't have better infrastructure than Imo.
I have stayed in both states and can tell.

ahaz:
Firstly, am speaking as an Igboid son and I want to say this to all..Since Ekweradu is facing this ordeal, how may Igno prominent men has risen to speak for the clemency of the man? No agoan is the answer.
It took a yorubs man and now and Hausa man to do just that while our Igno brothers are there cowering in the bath waters.

You me I only have one interpretation to this, that we are one as a people and that is what is engraved in the deepest part of our individual hearts ask (//HELLINUES THE ADDENT MAKE BELIEVE HATER OF THE IGBOS).

THE BIG QUESTION NOW IS, WHY ARE WE NOT EXPRESSING THIS LOVE FOR THE GOOD OF ALL? HOW LONG WIL IT TAKE US TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HATE RHETORICS IS DRAGGING US BACK?/

Am happy must of us travel da and wide and see how other countries work and see now the citizens collectively speak our againstnevi for the betterment of their society.

I use to be a sentimental person but I came to a full realization on the very day I was in Owerri and saw how the Igbos there gathered together to defend the interest of an Hausa wheel barrow pusher whos right was troled upon by an Igno bus driver and my mindset changed as I realised that the problem of this country is not actually the commoners but the elites and some.of us here who are used as willing tools to.propagate there hste filled ideology.

Why should Igbos care about Ekweremmadu that is part of the looting elite class that have plunged the country into poverty?
Are you serious?
If anything most of us are happy nemesis caught up with him.
Remember we once disgraced him in Germany sometime ago.

The Igbo obviously don't reason like the average Nigerian, which is why we have struggled to fit into Nigeria since Independence.

If Tinubu were an Igbo, I promise you that his worst opposition will be fellow Igbos, we will not support him because he is Igbo when we know he is a drug lord.

pongwa:
it doesn't mean its more populated. More data is needed.

However in terms of development, Ondo is more developed

Ondo is more developed than Imo?
The same Ondo that I stayed in that is littered with mud houses?
Please where is your data to prove your development assertion.

malcom1X:
My question is this.

If the supreme court interprets in court that they were wrong in 2009 and that the AND FCT means it's not 25% in FCT. According to the constitution.

Can Buhari then sue the supreme court and declare that he won In 2009 and so extend his stay in Aso rock or demand for some compensation of sort.


I'm not a lawyer na question I dey ask.

Stop talking off point.
Buhari never won Abuja in 2003.
OBJ won Abuja.
Yaradua also won Abuja in 2007.

[quote author=totit post=122027078][/quote]Lol! Wetin be this?
I showed you the official result of 2003 elections showing that OBJ won 49% of the votes, and you are showing me a document where someone was claiming he didn't?

Are you serious?

Efewestern:
While Nsukka might not be from Igala there is great possibilities of them having a little mix of Igala ancestors. Definitely, the larger stock originated from other Igboid territory but there is a slim possibilities of some having direct Igala ancestors who were later assimilated by the overwhelming Igbo aboriginals.

The truth is that it is impossible for a people to have a single ancestral root. People pushing this narrative are either supremacist or revisionist.

Cc: JasonScoolari

No such thing as Nsukka having Igala ancestors.
Infact it's the other way round.
Igala is an amalgam of Igbo( Which includes Nsukka), Yoruba, Hausa, Junkun and Okpoto.

Whatever so called Igala in Nsukka are actually from the Igbo part that made up Igala.

totit:
Of course, a simple google search actually provided the information, a link to the copied link.

Stop arguing with emotion.

You Tinubu boys are not brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.

Kagawa10:
Like you voted useless leaders in your region? You only hate Desmond Elliot because he isn't hateful towards the Yoruba while living in Yoruba land! His father trained him well on that aspect.

This is your fellow Yoruba Tribalists attacking same Eliot when he first came out to contest.

https://www.nairaland.com/1911233/fans-mock-desmond-elliot-over/1

Guess what, Igbos supported him as our own.
But dude has been a dissapointment and wouldn't be getting any support from Ndiigbo anymore.
We rather have someone else who doesn't even have single Igbo blood to replace him, as far as the replacement offers competence.
That's how we roll
As for useless Igbo politicians like OUK and co.
We are currently trying to chase them all away from political office, now that power has returned to the people through the PVC.

Kagawa10:
Like you voted useless leaders in your region? You only hate Desmond Elliot because he isn't bitter towards the Yoruba! His father trained him well on that aspect.

Bitter towards Yorubas?
Arrgh, Eliot was attacked for not being fluent in Yoruba and hiding his Yoruba names when he was in Nollywood by few Yoruba Tribalists when he initially ventured into politics.

Eliot is a failure as far as leadership is concerned and Ndiigbo will never stand with failure.
If he were successful like GBV is, we would be out there claiming him as well. Success will always have many fathers.
