Ikechu1278, and Ugumba,

I appreciate the works you guys are doing, but I think it is high time you guys stopped replying coolitempa. Mehn that girl is a bit.ch, and doesn't need to be given attention. The idea that Anioma is not Ibo only EXISTS on nairaland. Myself I'm from Asaba, and I have been to Anioma several times and have many friends from there, to them its even an anathema to suggest that they are not Ibos' let alone saying it. Infact one of the things that seriously provoke an Anioma person (and I am speaking from experience) is to suggest that he/she has an identity crises.

Please let this matter slide (die), thankfully, no amount of e-bashing or e-posturing can erase history, as Aniomas are fully aware of their origin. I believe that replying coolitempa and the likes is really a way to help them out of their south wastelands of frustrations. We should instead channel this strength and energy into something that will benefit the Igbos' and not something that will massage the ego of frustrations and bone-headed cowardice of the ofe-mmanus'.

We can create another thread to continue with our Biafran struggle, because its a struggle we should all be involved in!

I know. Why you think I despise the yoloba lately. They come on NL and try to create problems for anioma. Who else does stuff like that but a satanic, devilish, group. I spit on them. Personally, I would ignore them but those illiterate and irritating the heck out of me.

From this thread,I noticed that only Ogwashi peep are the only ones identifying with Igbos. Don't blame them, they don't have any origin. No king for a very very long time, they kept on killing their kings meanwhile a raving madman was their original king before Ngozi okonjo father became the king. Ogwashi peep can aswell go with the Igbos. I didn't know igbos needed us this much to become their Biafra

In 1999, Mr. Peter Okocha { from Ibusa} contributed financially and campaigned vigorously for the OBJ/ Atiku ticket. In 2003, as a PDP party loyalist, he did exactly the same, supporting the duo. There was an unwritten agreement that after James Ibori, the governorship would be zoned to the Delta Igbo senatorial district. All eyes were on Peter Okocha who belonged to the Atiku camp to clinch that ticket.

Thus when the war of ‘attrition’ between OBJ and his Deputy started, Peter Okocha, rather than following the much hackneyed principles that in politics, there is no permanent friend but permanent interest, remained loyal to Atiku. That, became his undoing. He probably thought he was still doing business. So, OBJ mobilized the state apparatus to make sure that he did not clinch the ticket. Okocha decided to go under AC to contest. Prof. Maurice Iwu’s INEC did another abracadabra on him. He was ‘disqualified’. His case is still pending in the electoral appeal court- to be determined by only God knows when, by a seemingly compromised section of the judiciary.

Chief Ibori, who benefited from Peter Okocha’s electoral largesse and support throughout his stay as governor, did a u-turn and stabbed Okocha on the back. Overnight before the 2007 charade called election, a decision was taken that the PDP governorship race should be zoned to the other senatorial district while Delta Igbos were to make do with state Chairman of the party. That was how Mr. Peter Nwaoboshi became the state PDP Chairman. The Urhobos, Itsekiris, Izons, Ijaws, and Isokos, aptly supported by OBJ, ganged up and executed that coup against us. They rounded it up with the puerile logic that since we have the state capital, we should not produce the next governor.

Again in the 2007 election, as a prelude to that charade, Prof. Pat Utomi { from Ibusa}, whose wife is from the East, went to OHANAEZE to solicit for support for his presidential ambition. Chief Orji Uzor Kalu also went to solicit for his too. A section of OHANAEZE that rejected Pat Utomi, gave me a terrible food for thought. One of them, according to some daily Nigerian newspapers’ reports, hankered abject adroitly : “Is he really a proper Igbo man? Look at him, he cannot even speak Igbo properly.” Others even insinuated that his name did not sound Igbo. I was shocked to the bone marrow. I couldn’t believe what I was reading from prominent Igbo citizens.

Instead of asking the two candidates to present their programmes and manifestoes, they were busy hankering on whether one of them is a “proper Igbo” or not. I was shocked of words. If any Igbo person does not know the meaning of Utomi, then that person should take a suicidal dive into the river Niger.

I guess some Igbos will ask of the true meaning of my surname – ADINLOFU. An Igbo man ones asked me in London whether I am a Yoruba man, that my surname looks like one. I just laughed { even though my spouse is Yoruba} and politely asked the man to pronounce my name. He ended up pronouncing it with all the Igbo-ness and accent which goes with it. While he was slowly pronouncing it, the meaning was unfolding before his eyes. He simply laughed and laughed himself to scorn.

Besides, it is a historical fact writes Emma Okocha of Izu-Anioma, that when Ojukwu even declared the Biafran Republic, he never had us in mind. Ojukwu’s Biafran and its boundary ended at Onitsha, living his kiths and kin – Midwestern Igbos – to their destiny. And yet during that pogrom of 1966, most Delta Igbo officers ran, not to Mid -West or to the West but to their kiths and kin in the East. The Chief of Biafran Navy, the late Captain W. A. Anuku, was from Agbor.

Ojukwu went further to choose Col. Banjo against the overwhelming preference of Nzeogwu {a then Mid-Western Igbo officer}, to lead that tactical assault on Midwest and on to Lagos. Most writers call it tactical because, the choice of Banjo and his subsequent antics {Read WHY WE STRUCK 1983 by Ademoyega} changed and swung the war to the advantage of the Federal troops. In that assault, Col. Banjo, who was then assisted by Lt. Col Igboba { from Ibusa}, got his assistant locked up in Benin prison over disagreements on tactics and the way and manner the invasion was being compromised.

However, while the Biafran soldiers were retreating from the Federal counter attack, Banjo, Ademoyega, and coy deliberately left Lt. Col Igboba behind at the Benin prisons only for the invading ‘British troops’ called Federal forces under the command of Lt. Col. Murtala Muhammed to stroll casually into Benin prison, locate Igboba and had him beheaded. That was the same Igboba who helped General Ironsi to quell Nzeogwu’s coup in Lagos.

Even in their genuine demand for more Igbo states, the East never count the Igbos in Delta state as worthy. Their request ought to always incorporate the demand of our people for the creation of Anioma State out of the present amorphous Delta State. After all, it will still be another seemingly full fledged Igbo State. However, I still remembered quite vividly that the late Dr. Chuba Okadigbo ones in while, had requested that the Igbos of Delta State should be given appropriate hearing in their quest for Anioma State which would have extricated and freed us from the strangle-hold of the Urhobos. But that was a lone support in the wilderness.

There is a need for the Igbos in the East to reach out to their brothers and sisters across the river Niger. This is not to say that we cannot stand on our own. The point here is that there is strength in number-“Igwe-buike”. The Igbos in the East should always seize the initiative because of their strength. They should make it their statutory duty to come to us and embrace us.

Lastly I'll leave this article here. Many anioma sons and daughters celebrated and honored as Igbo pride professional. Neither SE or SS Igbo had any problem with anioma included in the honor therefore OP, try your divide and rule tactics with others.

Just like una are currently failing miserably in your divide and rule tactics between SS and SE. U people would equally fail miserably in your divide and rule tactics between us and SE. We know who we are and don't need an aaaboki coward telling us who the f2k we are.

Now that I'm done with that.
Wtf where you saying about ogwashi uku again? The history of ogwashi uku is vast and well known dimwit. Their migration origin in we'll documented and even included in most anioma history so wtf did you just say about ogwashi uku people again?

Attache by force yoloba monkey. This is why I despise you people with every fiber of my begin.

I am of the Igbo stock from UkalaOkpunor in Oshimili North LGA of Delta State. I am 61 years of age and have from late 1965, during my undergraduate days at Downing College, Cambridge, England, been fascinated by my people, the Igbo, and specifically by what makes them such a pulsating enigma of a people

Emeka Esogbue is this nigga source. The shame of Aniomaland. The biggest rewriter of anioma history and equally the laughing stock of anioma right now. LMFAOOOO You might as well used kanuirum, ofili or okafor as your source

While I'm at it, Emeka Esogbue is from Ibusa, not ubulu uku.

The name of the book of anene and co is called sociology of ubulu-uku, I'll once again ask you to provide a quote from that book where ife was ever mentioned. In addition, Anioma:a social history of western Igbo by don ohadike. Once again provide one quote from that book with Ife in it. BTW: this two books are from ubulu sons. One of which is where the book your quote referenced. I'll be waiting and next time don't make me laugh directing me to Emeka Esogbue.

Argumentatively one can rightly say we are Igbos. In Nigeria, it is linguistic that is used to classify a nation of people. For example in Yoruba land, you have the Egba, Ijebu, Remo, Ondo and Oyo ethnic groups with different dialects of the Yoruba language. These ethnic groups have strong distinct dialects but are still called the Yorubas. Anioma like the Egba or Ijebu in the Yoruba land is a distinct sub-ethnic nationality of the loose Igbo nation

A little side note: majority of the members of Anioma: Houston chapter are predominately ika and ukwuani. The president is in fact oshmili. The vice is the ika

EKUMEKU WAR, WARRIORS AND CENOTAPH.

History

Resistance was strong in western Igboland where a series of wars were waged against the British. The Ekumeku, who were well organized and whose leaders were joined in secrecy oaths, effectively utilized guerrilla tactics to attack the British. Their forces, which were drawn from thousands of Igbo youth from all parts of igboland, created many problems for the British, but the British used forceful tactics and heavy armaments (destroying homes, farms, and roads) to prevail. The Ekumeku, however, became a great source of Igbo nationalism.
The Ekumeku Movement is unique in Igbo history for two reasons. First, the length of time the movement endured, comprising Military campaigns over a period of thirty one years. Secondly it is the outstanding example in Igbo Civilization of an attempt to unite previously disunited states to resist the invader. You have seen that one crucial reason for Igbo defeat was the great discrepancy of scale between the average Igbo community and the colonial invader. The British decided on a preemptive strike, and in December, 1902 sent a powerful expedition which systematically destroyed a number of towns and imprisoned their leaders. This, it was assumed, was the end of the Ekumeku.."the Ekumeku and other secret societies have been completely broken".
In 1904, the Ekumeku rose again. This time the changed their tactics, mistakenly, it would seem in retrospect, abandoning the united guerilla warfare of 1898 for the individual defense of each town. The last act of the Eureka drama began in late 1909. The occasion was a succession dispute in Ogwashi-Uku. One of the claimants, Nzekwe, the son of the last Obi, feared that the British would deprive him of his throne, and decided to fight for his inheritance.
On November 2, 1909, the British sent an expedition to Ogwashi-Uku to kill everyone in Ogwashi-Uku but they failed in the expedition. The British perceived, in the whole Asaba hinterland, a sympathy with the Ekumeku, and a disposition to throw off government authority. In 1911, there was a final round-up of Ekumeku leaders in various towns that was followed, once more, by imprisonments.
The acting lieutenant-governor of the southern provinces sent an agitated telegram to Lagos: "Whole country is above area...is the state of rebellion." Reinforcements arrived from Lokoja, and the British proceeded to a confrontation at Akegbe. We quote both the contemporary British accounts of the battle at Nkwo market.


The war

With the invasion of Ndoni in 1870 and bombardment of Onicha-Ado (Onitsha) on November 2, 1897, the stage was set for the Ekumeku war that engulfed the whole of western Igbo region. The Royal Niger Company (RNC) commandered by Major Festing engaged Ibusa in 1898, and in 1904 it was the people of Owa/Ukwunzu against the British in a war that W. E. B. Crawford Coupland requested for more arms to crush the western Igbo communities. Owa would once again engage the British in 1906 in battle that S. O. Crewe lost his own life. On November 2, 1909, it was finally the turn of Ogwashi-Ukwu who matched the British. In this war the British sustained many casualties with the death of H. C. Chapman.

Aftermath

Although the Ekumeku failed in 1914, but the western Igbo treasure their memory as imperishable legacy. Heroes included Dunkwu Isus of Onicha-Olona, Nwabuzo Iyogolo of Ogwashi-Ukwu, Awuno Ugbo, Obi of Akumazi, Agbambu Oshue of Igbuzo, Idabor of Issele-Ukwu, Ochei Nwayazia of Onicha-Olona, Abuzu of Idumuje-Unor, Idegwu Otokpoike of Ubulu-Ukwu are still remembered in Western Igboland. The Ekemeku War is one of the greatest resistances to the British empire and inspired later rebellions such as the Mau Mau of Kenya.

Albeit this is about ekumeku war, pay attention to what he called the fighters. And BTW, I already know tour attache by force do not know what Ekumeku war is. Ekumeku war is one of the biggest war fought in Aniomaland and the longest resistance against British colonization in Nigeria

I'm still not done yet.

Here tradition tells us that Ogele or Ogene was the patriarch of our ancestors; but whence he came from we do not know for certain. Even the Benin, who claim him as their own, confess to the mystry of his exact association with them. Better to know the man from his deeds among us, as I have recounted. We believe that early Agbors have some cultural affinity with the East Niger—Igbo people, and that the Edo people as neighbors of Agbor 



Language: Agbor spoke the ika dialect akin to other Igbo tongues, but the special vehile of the ika culture end image. It is distinct and dissimilar from Edo language and vice versa, even though some say that Agbor was once under the Oba’s rule. This was so because Benin was the first to acquire firearms from the Portuguese, and with which they terrorized the neighboring states. But this state of affairs lasted for only a short: Agbor liberated themselves before the 18th century. “Oru asuw Igbo; Igbo asuw Ika”: Agbor appears to be the credits of the Ika dialect and the citadel of Igbo heroes.

27861FW: [NdiCISA] Re: [IWA_Igbo] TRADITIONAL RULERS URGE UNITY AMONG NDIGBO Updated

Oliver Anam

Mar 21, 2010

 Attention: Fellow Anioma Indigenes.
 
Please concentrate on the event of March, 19th as detailed below.
 
[b] What an interesting REVELATION/INFORMATION from both HRM Dr. E.O. Efeizomor II OON; JP, the Obi Of OWA in Ika North LGA, who is also the incumbent Chairman, Anioma Traditional Rulers Council and HRM Prof. J.C. Edozien CFR; JP,the Azagba Of Asaba/Ahaba both in Anioma, Delta State
 
I believe that as perfect custodians of our Anioma culture and traditions, our Royal Fathers are in an advantage and better position to educate us more on our Igbo identity, rather than the  Osia's among us whose interests are PERSONAL.
 
Uninformed, unsuspecting and gullible Anioma sons and daughters, especially those in diaspora have been bamboozled by Dr. Kunirum Osia's "Trojan Horse" article on "Who We (Anioma people) Are" . This article which is found in Anioma.org website by Dr. Osia (who has abandoned and severed his relationship with the Anioma Association USA and every Anioma individual, after ending the tenure of office as the Founding Nat'l President, Anioma USA). Osia's poisonous and caustic academic exercise write-up has remained a sour source of reference by some Aniomans in diaspora who believe that whatever our great scholar Kunirum Osia, a PhD holder in Political Science dishes out must be "swallowed"
 
I Remain a Proud Igboman

TRADITIONAL RULERS URGE UNITY AMONG NDIGBO

 

 Sunday March 17, 2010.

 

            On arrival at Sam Mbakwe Airport , Owerri members of Igbo World Assmbly, IWA, ASA World, Council of Igbo States of America , CISA, and European Igbo Council, EIC, drove straight to the residence of the Chairman of South East Traditional Rulers Council,Eze Cletus Ilomuanya, the Obi of Obinugwu..

 

            Eze Ilomuanya and members of the delegation led by Dr. Nwachukwu Anakwenze exchanged views on how Ndigbo associations in the diaspora could be more effective in projecting Ndi-Igbo affairs.

 

            To this end, the delegation and the traditional ruler agreed to reinforce the special communication channel earlier established between the two groups.

 

            Eze Ilomuanya enjoined Ndigbo associations in the diaspora to continue to work for peace and unity among Ndigbo at home and in the diaspora.

 

            The traditional Ruler observed that the two year tenure system for headship of Ndigbo associations at home and abroad was short and inadequate.

 

            He noted that before anyone could settle down in the position, the person’s tenure had run out and “the trend was militating against the ability of the person to be effective in embarking on activities to project Ndi-Igbo.

 

            The Royal Father observed that the conduct of the February 6 gubernatorial election in Anambra state was exemplary and worthy of emulation thoughout the length and breath of Nigeria .

 

            Eze Ilomuanya commended NdiAnambra for making a right choice by re-electing Mr. Obi as Governor ofAnambra State adding that Mr. Obi’s election was “akin to putting a round peg in a round hole”.

 

Thursday March 18

           

 

The delegation visited the Imeobi palace of the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Agbogidi.

 

            The traditional ruler expressed delight at the tremendous improvement of the security situation in the state.

 

 

            Igwe Achebe, who is the Chairman of the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council, stressed the need for the State Government and private entrepreneurs to establish more industries in the state to provide employment for the teeming youths of the state.

 

            The Royal Father commended ASA-World and IWA for their role in fostering unity among Ndigbo.

 

Friday March 19

 

Two highly placed traditional Rulers inDelta State, the Asagba of Asaba, Professor J.C. Edozien CFR; JP., and the Obi of Owa in Ika North Local Government, Dr. E.O. Efeizomor II OON; JP., have stressed the need for Ndigbo, no matter the geopolitical location in which they are based, to be united in the quest for Ndi-Igbo to again become relevant in Nigeria in particular and the world in general.  

 

            Professor Edozien made the remarks when he granted audience to a delegation of IWA, ASA World, CISA and EIC.

 

            The traditional Ruler, a former academician, who received the delegation with a retinue of his fully attired members of cabinet, said that although Asaba people were located in the south south geopolitical zone, “most of my subjects hail from Nteje in Oyi Local Government of Anambra State”.

 

            Professor Edozien noted that "nothing could be achieved by Ndigbo unless unity prevailed among members of the ethnic group irrespective of the geopolitical zone in which they are based”.

 

            He appealed to IWA to work assiduously to resolve the crisis in World Igbo Congress, WIC, and, thereafter "IWA, WIC, ASA World, CISA, EIC and other Ndi-Igbo associations in the diaspora should pool their resources together to uplift the welfare of Ndi-Igbo”.

 

            The Asagba expressed delight over the efforts of IWA, ASA World, CISA and EIC to project, through the museum on Igbo Village to be opened on September 17, 2010 in Stanton , Virginia in the United States of America , the contributions of Ndi-Igbo to one of the major civilizations in modern history.

 

Friday March 19

 

            On his own part, the Obi of Owa in Ika North Local Government of Delta State, Dr. E.O. Efeizomor II OON; J.P., said that research had traced the origin of Ika people to the Nris of Anambra State.   

 

            Dr. Efeizomor II who has been on the throne for fifty years, said that what was significant about the research was that it was conducted by Ika intellectuals.

 

            The traditional Ruler said that although the “Ikas were making spirited efforts to identify and relate with Ndi-Igbos in the South East geopolitical zone, the efforts were not being reciprocated, hence a few Ikas have reservations over their affinity with Ndi-Igbo”.

 

            The Obi of Owa presented to members of the IWA delegation a book to buttress his assertion that Ikas were, according to him, “proud Ndi-Igbo of Nri ancestry”.

 

            Dr. Efeizomor II said that the entire Ika traditional institution was happy to participate in the Igbo Day that was held in Owerri on September 29, 2009 adding that “Ika people look forward to joining our brothers and sisters in taking part in more Ndi-Igbo activities in future”.

 

Friday March 19, 2010

 

            The traditional ruler of Agulu, HRH Innocent E. Obodowkor expressed delight that Ndigbo were beginning to be united.

 

            Eze  Obodowkor said that before the advent of Mr. Peter Obi’s government four years ago, NdiAnambra were behaving like an ethnic group that was cursed but “ I am happy that with the election of one of my subjects to the exalted office in Awka, things have started to change for the better”.

 

            The Anambra Governor is an indigene of Agulu.

Once again, I'm not done. I'll be back

dumie:
From this thread,I noticed that only Ogwashi peep are the only ones identifying with Igbos. Don't blame them, they don't have any origin. No king for a very very long time, they kept on killing their kings meanwhile a raving madman was their original king before Ngozi okonjo father became the king. Ogwashi peep can aswell go with the Igbos. I didn't know igbos needed us this much to become their Biafra

Lmfaooooooooo. You keep giving your worthless self away. Like I said, I can bet my left balls that you don't know where or even how to get to aniomaland. I can bet my entire savings you are yoloba and this your post proves it because no anioma person will ever insult another anioma group no matter what. Even the history rewritters are never insulted nor their place of origin. I can bet every single thing I owe, including what my parents owe, that you're not one of us. Desperate attache by force monkey.

First I'm not ogwashi, I'm asaba and proud. Secondly I'm proud of the OP for not taking your bait and begin insulting other anioma group because I know that's what you attache by force ass wants

And finally
I've already did this before but let me redo it again

First of all, here is the words of asagba of Asaba aka the king of Asaba, our ruler

Prof. Edozien saying all Igbo are one, itemised seven agenda al for Igbo unity which he said for two years, Ohanaeze ndigbo could not achieve.

https://www.nairaland.com/529305/asagba-asaba-proud-igbo-son

The chairman of the lecture, Obi Edozien, re-emphasised this point: “we Igbo people are one. We must stop fighting over irrelevancies and emphasise the essential.”


This point arose out of the tendency among Igbo people to regard some groups as not “real” Igbos on basis of dialectal differences. It also exists in the form of clearly Igbo-speaking people with Igbo names and cultural patterns declaring themselves as “not Igbo” but ethnic minorities.

This is very rampant among Igbo groups in the South-South zone who believe that by so self-declaring publicly, they would be more acceptable among the real minorities and allowed to take their places as ethnic minorities.

Experience has, however, shown that this self-delusion hardly ever produces their desired results. Whenever the push comes to the shove, the real minorities remind them that they are Igbo people who are out to take what belongs to the minorities through the back door.

This phenomenon was evident in 2006 when former Governor Peter Odili of Rivers State (who loved to call himself a “Rivers man,” as if Rivers State is a tribe) was running for president. Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark openly declared Odili an Igbo man, arguing that the South-South president that the minorities have been agitating for was not meant to go to “an Igbo man.”

Given this situation, there has been an increasing shift of paradigm. Many Igbo groups, especially in Delta State, have decided no longer to play the masquerade. The Obi of Asaba, Professor Edozien, actually laid out conditions he believes will cement Igbo unity permanently.

Obi Edozien then called on the people of the South-East zone to support the creation of Anioma State and another for Igbo-speaking people of Rivers State to make for seven states, all of which will be lumped together in one zone or region.

http://allafrica.com/stories/200901261676.html

Let's move on to NOI father, Ralph umucheze, the obi of ogwashi uku, the ex president of ohaneze ndi Igbo.

"Ofili is not making an accurate statement although he is entitled to his views even when he is wrong. It is ridiculous for people who speak Igbo and who properly know their ancestral home to say they do not know their origin again or for another person to begin to give inaccurate facts," he told Saturday Independent in an interview.

"We have people in Anioma and theyform one-third of the population and that has also reflected on the number of local government areas it commands. The entire Delta may not trace their origin to the East (Igbo) it is not contestable but the people of Anioma traced their origin from the East and there is nothing bad in joining Ohanaeze Ndigbo."

Uwechue said belonging to the Ohanaeze Ndigbo would promote unity among the people, rather than focus on divisive tendencies that will not do anyone any good.

"If we do not belong to the stock they will not have given us the president-general. It is because they know. Even the present president of Aka-Ikenga, the intellectual think-tank of Ndigbo, is from Delta and all this promotes unity and a sense of belonging. I am from Ogwashi-Uku and we know our origin. That we have Ijaw people in Delta State does not mean they do not know that they belong to Bayelsa State. Ohanaeze Ndigbo is the grand umbrella for all Igbo stock, for all that have the Igbo origin including those in the Diaspora, so our inclusion is not out of place.

"What the world needs now is unity and any umbrella that will ensure that it is promoted must be encouraged. But I know that there is a deliberate effort in some quarters to tear Ndigbo apart for fear of their solid demography, which is a political force that some are not comfortable with." --- [side note: this speaks of you perfectly]

Uwechue said that identifying with your source does not make you an enemy of other people.

He added: "People like Dennis Osadebe clearly identified where we belong. And we know it, so it is not for anybody to come and re-write history. The issue is not subject to unnecessary debate because we are well informed to knowwhere we are coming from. Nobody is seeking for any relevance with the organisation because without (it) one is already relevant."

This is an article from an Anioma son, ika, addressing laughing stock Charles okafor, kanrium and emeka in their effort of history distortion. I'll emphasis his origin. This is from an IKA man..this is not only for that wannabe OP but also for those SE that keep attacking ika all the time refusing to understand that community is extremely divided and needs to given space to sort themselves out rather than attacking them. One person opinion from those ppl are not always the opinion of all of them.

Anyway

In an article written by one Mr.Chris Okafor, on ARTICLES BASE, the fellow wanted to correct what he likened to a misconception by Late Amb. Ralph Uwechue the ex president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Ibo social cultural organization.

It seems Mr. Okafor wasnt aware of the fact that the later, Amb. Uechue is also from Ogwashu ukwu. But that's by the way. What I found totally strange was how a man who set out to correct what he termed a misconception eneded up dishing out more misconceptions. First, here is a quote from Mr. Okafor in his effort to correct the misconception by Uwechue: "Anioma people just like every other tribe, villages, towns or ethnic groups in Nigeria today cannot be said to come from one particular area. This is not what is at stake. What is at stake is that we, the ANIOMAS are over due for the immediate creation of our own State." My question to Mr. Okafor is how Anioma became a tribe...in what way and by whom?

It is very unfortunate that people who do not even know what Anioma stood for are usually the ones making futile efforts to make it an ethnic group. I am personally aware that Anioma is simply a coinage given to the constituent Local Governments in Delta north senatorial district in anticipation to make it a state. Anyone who isn't aware of the reasons Anioma was formed should go and read more before coming to the internet to write wishful stories.

The fact that one misinformed Proffessor Kunirum wrote that ANIOMA is now an ethnic group does not make Anioma an ethnic group, it rather makes Proffessor Kunirum a misinformed fellow. The Nigerian system had confused us all from knowing the line between literacy and intelligence and so many of us often mistook literacy for intelligence. Having read Dr Kunirum's book where he wanted for reasons best known to him to make Anioma a separate ethnic group away from the larger Ibo attachment makes me conclude that he and his likes are very literate, not intelligent. The fact that Dr Kunirum while running away while no one is chasing after him is enough to ask questions: why the run?

Furthermore, if Kunirum and his fellow confused likes form an Anioma ethnic nationality, what will be the language, I mean mother tongue of this 'new' tribe? If they chose Ibo as the mother tongue of the new ethnic nationality, wouldn't that make them silly?

True it was that there are non Ibo elements present in Anioma, but these where refugees that we, the indegenes assimilated linguistically and culturally. Do we now need to change the name of our village because two or three visitors are not comfortable bearing the name? Mr. Okafor suggested that the Ikelike people of Ogwashi were the first settlers in Ogwashiukwu, how? And how do you mean that the 'uku' in Ogwqashiuku means great in Bini? So what does the same mean in Ibo?

In as much as some of us are willing to keep deluding themselves and others without any tangible reason, it is a thing of shame that these people don't ask questions. How come the almighty Bini as you usually portray could not hold on to their languages once they are a mile away from Bini? And do you not imagine how a strong conquering people will loose their language and culture to the conquered people? What are the reasons that most of the settlements founded by these Bini wanders usually had the Umu prefix? How did a powerful Bini prince suddenly threw away his proud Oba title and picked up Obi while he and those with him are all Bini?

Lets take the history of Umunede for instance which goes thus:
 Umunede Kingdom was founded by a Benin Prince, called EDE and his wife, IYE who migrated from Benin and settled in the present location, later known as Umunede. The exact date of migration of Ede and his wife from Benin was not recorded but generally, historians put the approximate period as the Thirteenth Century A.D., during the reign of Oba Ewedo The Great (1250-1280 A.D.) Thus, the Kingdom is over seven hundred years old and many historians believed that Umunede Kingdom is one of the oldest kingdoms east of the Benin Empire.



Historians had contended that during Oba Ewedos reign, the Oba had two battles to fight: a diplomatic battle against the great nobility led by the Ediommehan and military battles against Ogiamien III in order to destroy once and for all this anti-royalist movement. As a result of these events, many princes and noble men fled with their families to different safe locations.



The second wave of migration to Umunede probably took place under Oba Ewuare The Great (1440-1485). During his reign, an attempt to eliminate members of the nobility who were threatening the monarchy gathered momentum and brought about another wave of migration out of the Benin Empire.



Historians also believe that there were other settlers before and after Ede and Iye arrived at the present location but no one was sure when those earlier settlers arrived at this same location. However, later migrations to Umunede were well documented. For example, there were other immigrants from Ishan, Benin-speaking areas and Yoruba areas of the west between the 16th and 19th centuries and their quarters are well known in Umunede. Also, there have been large number of immigrants from the Eastern Igbo-speaking area since the last quarter of the 19th century and, since the civil war; Umunede has also been witnessing a large number of immigrants from neighbouring towns and villages.



All historical accounts showed that Ede and his followers did meet a collection of people in the present location, later called Umunede. Those who were already in that location were probably not as strong and organized as Ede and his followers. Therefore, Ede was able to impose his rule and leadership upon the earlier settlers. In fact, it has never been contested that Ede brought to Umunede the type of administrative and social structures, which were already in place in the Benin Empire. Firstly, the monarchical administration, which Ede and his followers brought from Benin, was established in Umunede and hence up to today, Umunede still has traditional and hereditary kingship. Secondly, the mode and type of worship and traditional festivals correspond to the practices in the Benin kingdom. Thirdly, the mode of building houses in ancient Umunede was also that of Benin tradition.



Every available document showed that Ede and Iye had four sons in the following order of seniority: Ilege, Edware, Oba and Ile. Those four sons and their descendants constituted the original four main villages of Umunede. Available information also showed that it took some time before the kingship, as we know it today was fully established. When it was fully established, it took and Igbo title, Obi instead of Ovie or Onogie, which are the titles kings that descended directly from Benin. But, why Obi? Probably, the main reason was that in the course of centuries of living together and inter-ethnic marriages, each of the various groups living in that location started to lose its original ethnic identity, thus giving way to develop on Unumede language and culture- the language being very close to those of Ibos West of the Niger, while Unumede culture was predominantly that of Binis until the first assume that language of the dominant tribe in Umunede. History did not record and alternative title to Obi.

What is the common sense in arguing or trying to say that a man a fugitive precisely who came with his wife and four children and met a 'group' of people now becomes the founder of the village together with the people, not persons he met on ground? Could it not be better put that Ede was a Bini sent to rule the colony with the authority of the Oba who was later assimilated into the population? If that was the case, how then did the people turn around to start answering Umu Ede which translates thus as children of Ede?And how did the Bini warrior quickly took up Obi as a title instead of Oba? Common sense says that it is a more powerful and conquering culture that overshadows the weaker ones. Here, people are telling us that it was the other way round: weaker cultures dominating the stronger ones.

Then that gives us another angle that people east of the Niger also bears Ede. We should consider.
Umu Ede means children of Ede corrupted to Umunede. What was the name of the Town before Ede, his four children and wife showed up?

The story continued: "Every available document showed that Ede and Iye had four sons in the following order of seniority: Ilege, Edware, Oba and Ile. Those four sons and their descendants constituted the original four main villages of Umunede. Available information also showed that it took some time before the kingship, as we know it today was fully established. When it was fully established, it took and Igbo title, Obi instead of Ovie or Onogie, which are the titles kings that descended directly from Benin. But, why Obi?" Yes, Why Obi? Although the writer continued with a "probably" that was not well researched and therefore didn't make any sense. They wrote: "Probably, the main reason was that in the course of centuries of living together and inter-ethnic marriages, each of the various groups living in that location started to lose its original ethnic identity, thus giving way to develop on Unumede language and culture- the language being very close to those of Ibo West of the Niger, while Unumede culture was predominantly that of Binis until the first assume that language of the dominant tribe in Umunede. History did not record and alternative title to Obi." Did Ede and his children live for centuries as to change from Ovie to Obi when in the first place, they never had an Oba title?
We should learn how not to interpret mythology as history.

There was an article I read by Emeka Esobgue where the Oba of Bini was boldly claiming that Igbanke people are Edo (Idu) and not Ika. Why wouldnt he say so with pride when the people themselves choose to embrace mythology instead of conducting a research on themselves? Even Emeka Esogbue that tried to wave off Oba's assertions equally ended up along the same line of lazy history by also claiming that the Ika are from Bini. If they are from Bini, then why confront the Oba for trying to reclaim his children? The only sensible way to counter such claim is simply by writing a history based on investigations, not by rewriting a well known myth.

There is no way anyone can seperate us Anioma and Ika from the rest of Ibo.
If we are not Ibos, then no one is...for what is Ibo and who is one?

All you do is spit bitterness and abuse like the village urchin that you are....... .....the post I gave you is clearly referenced and available on many sites....google is your friend. It clearly states that Ezemu was living in satellite villages which was part of the Benin Kingdom....it also states that his family was from ife and maybe before that.....Israel..... and he was invited over by the Oba....... .........whether he believed he came from Israel is neither here nor there.....muumuu........

Those towns are part of d benin empire and before that.....from the ife empire and part of .......the oduduwa legacy......they are not ibo and that is why the people will never accept the Igbo toga u are trying to force them to wear....

This illiterate can't read. First, was written by a Yoruba, the only portion from that quote that is actually from ikemfuna and anene was the first portion, the rest are propaganda. I actually know those two actors and I've actually read their book hence the reason I stated those quote can't be found anywhere else. You copied the quote from NL, who copied it from herehttp://nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-74653.html ironically, the first plave where that statement was ever made and funny enough on a yoloba discussion none the less. Based on the fact it's from a yoloba discussion, and showing the person diatorted what anene wrote inorder to include "ife" into it, it's safe to conclude na typical yoloba attache. That quote have never been referenced anywhere else but forums and ....FACT. Before you say Google, maybe you should have actually done that Google search yourself before making a f00l of yourself again. Unlike your ass, I gave you a direct quote from an anioma/ubulu writer, chudi. Secondly, since the post came from a yoloba discussion, is safe to conclude the BS story came from a yolova attache by force who desperately needed to attached yoloba in anioma. There are three origin fights of Ezemu origin and in all I've read, none of which has ever had ife in it whatsoever. I've read from Chudi, isidore okpewho, don ohadike, Chumezie Nnamdi, aguleri omobala, anene, etc and in each history, there have been two narrative of Ezemu which states he is either from NRI kingdom or he is from the neighboring ubulu-unor. Neither history buff, be it from ubulu or neighboring community ever included IFE in any of it hence I know for sure the quote came from an attache by force yoloba. If you need history books regarding ezemu written by ubulu ukwu indigenous, I'll be more than EMPHASIS on MORE THAN happy to provide you ones to read. If you need the book/author in which the person you quoted claim they got their quote from, I'll once again more than, Emphasis on MORE THAN happy provide and you can point out to me where ife ever mentioned in the entire book.
It's similar to how you monkey tried to rewrite idemuje history online claiming they descended from benin and their obi was forced to write a book debunking that rubbish

Secondly, just because i know na attache by force wrote what you provided does not mean i won't dissecr it for your limited braincell. Once again, monkey reread your quote again. It said he was popular in the all over and even in Benin kingdom, not that he is from Benin. Secondly it equally stated he migrated from isreal to I've, not that he is from Ife. Learn how to f2king read. Kim kardashian is popular worldwide and invited all over the world, in fact wasn't she invited to Niggeria several years ago, does that now make her niggerian? I moved from Nigeria to America does that bow make me an American? You're so dimwitted, it's ridiculous how dimwitted you are.

Origin Of Ubulu-Uku

||King Ezemu ||| Obi Ofulue | St Anthony's & Anglican Colleges || Festival | |Origin Of Ubulu-Uku | The Colonial Era| || Ubulu Uku Development Union ||

Ezemu was a hunter of un-equalled marksmanship, a herbalist who was known just in ubulu-uku and its immediate environs but down to every corner of the one time Benin Empire. He was so famous as a herbalist that the Oba of Benin during his time invited him to Benin to prepare certain herbs for him. “Izo-Idayi”. This helped to prolong the life of the Oba and so he told his successor to invite Ezemu or his descendants to prepare the same medicine for him any time he came to the throne. Before arriving at Ubulu –UKU however, Ezemu and his brothers first settled at Ubulu-unor. It was from Ubulu-Unor that Ezemu left for Ubulu-Uku. “Ubulu” is the name of a huge tree which today stands di centre of Ubulu-uku. “UKU” means big or huge. It was at the foot of this tree ( which still exists today but which has experienced severe burns) that Ezemu pitched tent. A deep gulley was adjacent to the tree, and the presence of water attracted the wandering normand.

From Afor To Ubulu-Unor

In fact Ubulu oral tradition states categorically that the grand-parents of Ezemu migrated from Israel and settled at Ife hence Ezemu was often referred to as the king with long hairs – “Ezi Isi Iyomiyo”. From Ife Ezemu and his relations migrated to Afor a village in present day Ndokwa Local Government Area of Delta State.

After a long stay in Afor, Ezemu’s parents assembled five of their namely Obodo, Ezemu, Alibo, Aniga and Ekelie and asked them to get ready to migrate and found other settlements.

Before they left Afor, their parents gave them a pot (Ududu) containing a mixture of some herbs and instructed them to settle anywhere the pot fell, each facing a different direction. While wandering from place to place they came to Ubulu-Unor, the pot fell and they settled there as their parents had instructed them. It was from Ubulu-Unor that Ezemu went to found Ubulu-Uku.

Ezemu Moves To Ubulu-Uku

When Ezemu made up his mind to settle in ubulu-uku he went and pleaded with his sister Obodo to come and join him. She refused told Ezemu that since he, Ezemu had founded a new and bigger Ubulu ( Ubulu-Uku) their first settlement should be called a home (Ubulu-Unor).

There was also the strong argument that Obodo was never the king of ubulu-unor because she was a woman neither were her descendants kings of ubulu-unor rather they have always been and are the Okpalas of Umuata (the descendants of obodo).

Ezemu had two children , one boy called Ijedinka-Jezie and one girl called Ozim. Since Ijedinka-Jezie was the only son, Ezemu hoped that he would succeed him on the throne and so he was grooming him with the role. He had the hope that Ozim would be given out in marriage.

Introduction

Ubulu-uku is situated some thirty kilometres (30kms) west of the River Niger in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State. Eastwards it shares a boundary with Ogwashi-Uku, westwards with Obior; northwards with Issele-Uku and southwards with Ubulu-Unor.

Ubulu Uku is sited in an undulating environment with its Enugu-Iyi and Abuedo end at the top of a long stretch of hills, while its centre, fanning out from the Ubulu tree, to Isho, Akwu, Ogbeofu, Idumu-Osume etc are located in a valley.Rolling down these hills are rivers which run through the entire clan to the sea through other neighbouring clans. Iyi Agor ( River Agor) stands out prominently among these.

Ubulu-Uku is the largest and most populated town in Aniocha Local Government Area. Topograhically it is a hilly town that could be easily compared to Agbor in Delta State, Auchi in Edo State and Ibadan in Oyo State. This hilly nature of the town accounts for the serious problem of erosion which it faces. The Problem has made some of the streets impassable especially the street leading from the major road to Ogbeofu.

On the other hand when one looks at the town from any of the hilly spots especially at night, one sees a beautiful scenery that could be said to be one of the best that nature has bestowed on this part of the earth. The town has one major stream called Iyi-Agor which was the main source of water supply before the advent of pipe-borne water. A few other minor streams like Nkpitime-Isho, Iyi-Nta, Iyi-Eko and Iyi-Ozala also serve people in various parts of the town.

Three major roads run through the town . One runs from Asaba via Ibusa to ogwashi-uku then through Ubulu-uku to Obior and Umunede. The second road branches out from Ubulu-uku to umunede road at Idumu-Osume village via Akwu village and then to Issele-Uku. The third road branches out from Ubulu-Uku to Umunede road at the post office junction and runs through Akpama, Agbonta-Udogwu and Isho village to Ubulu-Unor.

Occupationally Ubulu-Uku men are farmers, weavers, hunters, and palm wine tappers. As for Ubulu-uku women they are expert weavers. With their hand looms they produce materials that are highly treasured by both foreign and Nigerian visitors to the town.

The Union that made up Ubulu-Uku

Ezemu meets Ekei One day while Ezemu was under the “Ubulu” tree he sighted smoke at a distance. He became curious and moved towards the direction from where the smoke was rising to find out its source. On getting to the spot called Ani-Ekei which now forms part of Udo Village, he met a man called Ekei, a black –smith. He was the leader of a few settlers there.

Ezemu meets Anugwe Just as Ezemu discovered Ekei and his people, he sighted some smoke rising from a spot in the bush around the present Abuedo village. Like the brave hunter that he was, he moved to find out the source of the smoke. On reaching the spot he saw a man called Anugwe working in his large farm. The exchanged greetings and introduced themselves.

Ezemu becomes the first king of Ubulu-uku

When Ezemu saw that he had surrounded himself with enough settlers he went up to Ekei and told him that it was necessary for the three groups of settlers to come together and that one of the three leaders should be made their king.

After listening to Ezemu, Ekei told him that he was already getting old and was not interested in being the king of Ubulu-Uku. Ezemu went up to Anugwe and told him of his proposals. Anugwe told Ezemu also that he was not interested in being a king. He asked Ezemu to become the king if he so wished. Thus Ezemu was accorded recognition by all the settlers in Ubulu-uku.
Then Ezemu went to Ubulu-unor and told Obodo that he was to be coronated formally. Obodo congratulated him and shaved his bushy hair in order to make him look neat on the coronation day. When Ezemu returned to Ubulu-uku he was crowned the king of ubulu-uku with a lot of pomp and pageantry.

Thank you for visiting Ubulu- Uku Website .

Lmfaoooooo. I gave this illiterate a direct book quote from an ubulu and this buf00n is giving me a NL post by some mohaden who claims to have gotten it from ubulu site yet such direct quote is nowhere on site except NL
https://www.nairaland.com/2363363/origin-ubulu-uku-kingdom

Secondly did you even read the quote you stole from NL, it states Ezemu family is from isreal, not even Benin. He happens to be invited to Benin by the oba for treatment. Lmfaoooo. In other to defeat a statement, the dumbass defeated himself. Who other Igbo group believes they migrated from isreal? Last I checked, it was NRI people who do.

Next time READ CAREFULLY before making a f00l of yourself

Ugomba:
I am begining to see your true colours, you yorubas on this forum.. I dare you, come to my area here in Delta and make this comment.

You see EXACTLY what I told you. You see why I hate them with every fiber of my being. Those people are devilish Satan. I swear. You haven't seen anything. The illiterate stay on the internet trying to create problems for anioma.

Ugomba:
Akwa ocha is the same dressing like the Onitcha people in Anambra, whats the business of we Anioma people with yorubas in the sw?

Biko help me ask the attache by force people. You see why I despise am.

VirginFinder:
Tell your envious ibo brothers to also stop saying Kwara/Ilorin is Fulani. It's do me, I do you.

There are Yoruba traces in Anioma, for your information. They are descendants of Yoruba soldiers who fought for the Oba of Benin.
They can be found in Ukwunzu, Ugwuodu and Ubulubu. This we were taught in GST - Nigerian People's and Culture - back in school.
How can you expect such people to claim to be ibo? Of course, they know their roots. They'll always know they have Yoruba ancestry even though they have been roundly ibonised.

Tread softly. Not all Aniomas are ibos!!

Yoruba started it and I have proof going all the way back to to prove it. Secondly, the yoloba migrants met an already Igbo territory therefore, they can migrate back to sputhwaste anytime they want. That land is anioma and aniomaland is Igbo. End of story. Like I keep saying, the people I blame is our ancestors. They should have never allowed migrants reside in our lands. Be ing nice is what created the wahala.

coolitempa:
No u are the ignorant one......Ezemu and his brothers founded those places and they were from Benin.......the later day influx of d SE people in search of land....led to the mix up...... .....most anioma people know this hence the reason why the likes of keshi....oliseh.......etc insist that they are not iboes despite their Igbo sounding names.....l

While I'm at it, provide one proof where keshi ever denied his Igbo origin. You mean the same keshi you monkeys attacked, insulted and accused of "Igbo domination" simply because una inadequate players not being chosen is who you trying to lie on. I say provide ONE proof

coolitempa:

That's the problem with you yoloba illiterates. You're the dumber than a rock, ignorant and very proud to display how ignorant and dumb you monkeys are. A pathetic, worthless, tribe that God allowed Satan to create. #i spit on una faces.

First, unlike your illiterate attache by force sister, Ezemu is the founder of ubulu ukwu and not ogwashi. If your attache by force sister was in fact anioma, her dimwitted @ss would have known that. Secondly Ezemu migrated from NRI kingdom, not Benin dimwit and finally the obi of ogwashi uku was a past ohaneze ndigbo and a biafran solider. Father of NOI

dumie:
I usually don't comment on nl but just to clear the air. Delta ibos are Not Igbo's, pls ask any true delta ibo person. The ogwashi uku guy claiming igbo shud claim for himself n family. Ezemu of ubulu uku kingdom and his brothers descended from Beinn kingdom, pls ask ur parents this or better still read history books. Meanwhile core igbos don't accept us self, calling us ofe mamu. They want to claim us now becos of biafra. Igbos and Yoruba's e- fight shud not involve delta ibos.. U guys shud leave us out of this e-war

I can bet my entire left balls you don't even know where in delta anioma is located. I can bet my left buttocks you are not from aniomaland, never been, never will be. Just the usual attache by force monkey

While I'm at it, if you knew anything about ogwashi uku, you would have know NOI is the princess of ogwashi uku and her father the king was a past president of ohaneze.

In fact this is what he said when questioned about his Igbo heritage

Ofili is not making an accurate statement although he is entitled to his views even when he is wrong. It is ridiculous for people who speak Igbo and who properly know their ancestral home to say they do not know their origin again or for another person to begin to give inaccurate facts," [/b]he told Saturday Independent in an interview.

"We have people in Anioma and theyform one-third of the population and that has also reflected on the number of local government areas it commands. [b]The entire Delta may not trace their origin to the East (Igbo) it is not contestable but the people of Anioma traced their origin from the East and there is nothing bad in joining Ohanaeze Ndigbo."

Uwechue said belonging to the Ohanaeze Ndigbo would promote unity among the people, rather than focus on divisive tendencies that will not do anyone any good.

"If we do not belong to the stock they will not have given us the president-general. It is because they know. Even the present president of Aka-Ikenga, the intellectual think-tank of Ndigbo, is from Delta and all this promotes unity and a sense of belonging. I am from Ogwashi-Uku and we know our origin. That we have Ijaw people in Delta State does not mean they do not know that they belong to Bayelsa State. Ohanaeze Ndigbo is the grand umbrella for all Igbo stock, for all that have the Igbo origin including those in the Diaspora, so our inclusion is not out of place.

"What the world needs now is unity and any umbrella that will ensure that it is promoted must be encouraged. But I know that there is a deliberate effort in some quarters to tear Ndigbo apart for fear of their solid demography, which is a political force that some are not comfortable with." --- [side note: this speaks of you perfectly]

Uwechue said that identifying with your source does not make you an enemy of other people.

He added: "People like Dennis Osadebe clearly identified where we belong. And we know it, so it is not for anybody to come and re-write history. The issue is not subject to unnecessary debate because we are well informed to knowwhere we are coming from. Nobody is seeking for any relevance with the organisation because without (it) one is already relevant."

Just ask anioma people to change their name.


but finally, they have all become igbos...From culture to location to language n religion we share same.

Important ish is dat igbos n SS want independence...We either do it together or alone. simple.

Personally I blame our ancestors. You don't allow people who tried to conquer you, reeked havoc in your land to still live in your land after you defeat them. That is the biggest mistake they made. This is a life lesson to us because if they sent them packing back to Benin kingdom we would not be fighting their constant history rewrite. Onitsha lost, it's rare to see an onitsha man tell you they migrated from arochukwu. You're more likely to see one tell you they migrated from Benin. Ika and ukwuani is so divided I truly pity am. Aniocha is winning, it's rare to see any tell you they descended from Benin while Oshimili won.

I'm just glad na their brother dey talk dis sef. If we tok am now, them dey scream tribalist and chest beating while forming in the mouth.

Oya make I finish this beautiful thread where yansh dey open

chuna1985:
just mention a little proof in order to show us that Anioma hail from Benin?

We do have Benin descendants in anioma but many of them migrated to an already filled igbo territory, tried to conquer it albeit failed, but allowed to live within the group. several years later their offsprings are trying to rewrite the history. If you ever visit aniomaland, you should speak to as many elders, including kings, regarding this. Many are open to speaking on it, one even wrote a book about it. It's a problem going on in aniomaland but the people with that problem the most are predominately ika and ukwani. Onitsha too but due to onitsha is in SE rather than SS, I assume the fact they around SE Igbo predominately, despite the Benin descendants have rewritten their history very well, they still hold onto their ethnic group title. That's why many advocate for anioma state very much because some believe it'll solve the disunity problem.

fr3do:
firstly, I am in total support of an Anioma state with communities like Igbanke, parts of rivers and parts of Onitsha.
I feel now that we have an Anioma man as governor is the best time.

It will be more reasonable to remain in the SS, to secure Igbo interest in the region.

My sentiments exactly.

What is so important about Anioma? What have you people achieved?

My friend get off my mentions if your brain is this empty

Ewoooo nu. Everybody come see an Hausa man talking. When ppl talk, Hausa man fit open mouth talk too. Chei. I no even blame you sef, na the British I blame.
See person feeling butt hurt after the ediot kept disturbing us for months and even went to the extent of attache by force just to belong. No be my fault your mama and papa no born you anioma. The only thing you can do is stand from afar and write rubbish all over the internet. Ewu.

Where is Boko Haram when you need am. See one maga dem forget kidnap. Onye Ara.

Ymodulus:
Been proud of the north makes me a looser You tribalism knows no limit.

You're A looser for the following

1. Spamming every anioma thread with your dimwitted rubbish and trying to force it down.

2. When confronted, just like a chameleon, you try to attaché by force to ibusa

3. You're a coward.

Those are the characteristics that make you a looser snake.

I await whatever new ID you'll create just to continue your rubbish and your obvious obession with anioma.

[quote author=Ymodulus post=37004630][/quote]You are so pathetic. Attaché by force monkey. You've went from proudly hausa, proudly Katsina to ibusa just to belong. Very very VERY PATHETIC AND COWARDLY. Loser

Why then did Sunday Oliseh say that "He is not igbo"?

And so? He is among the tiny minority which we have and so? Just like Sunday oliseh says he is not Igbo is the same way NOI, Jay Jay Okocha, Pat utomi, Faze, Tinie Tempah, Nneka, etc say they are igbo.
