if you are a careful observer, you will notice that Riverians(or more specifically Ikwerres) are uninterested in Biafra. Your IPOB is merely forcing yourselves to be relevant in Rivers. Your rallies and protest are usually made possible only through the importation of your members from neighnouring Abia, Imo and Anambra as Riverians do not care about your Biafra and largely consider your cause an unneccesary and a huge source of nuisance.

If Rivers people were IPOB members and were shot by security forces in PH for doing a peaceful protest, Hell would have been unleashed by now.

Sir now i know you're just out for trouble with the Anambra people, I would've loved Obiano to ignore Rochas but I believe he really needs someone to talk to so he stops living under the delusion that he's the best thing that ever happened to Igbos. From the way you're talking I think you're worst than those Anambra people you called out.

betterABIAstate:
is he the only governor in southeast? Why must it be an anambra person that will talk sense if not for their arrogance?
Na only anambra sabi talk?

Other governors responded politely, only the clown from anambra who has ego problem will respond arrogantly.

betterABIAstate:
Though we all know Rochas is a bad governor and he has since denied the people of IMO good governance but he never mentioned the name of the governors that will defect to APC. While other governors exempted themselves politely, that of anambra chose to portray the act of arrogance that has long been known with anambra people.
They even went as far a saying okorocha begged an anambra person for election fund, please, we All know okorocha has been one of the richest in Nigeria even before he became the governor of IMO state.

Anambra government should drop their arrogance and play the silent game, it just reflect what we see everyday on nairaland about anambrarians, always showing reckless arrogance and tending to reply any shitty statement.

Okorocha has succeeded in bringing anambra down to his level, you shouldn't have responded arrogantly or should I say like mberi secondary school football players.

HopeAtHand:
Waste of time and energy and resources that would have been put to more productive endeavours.

I spent 5 years in Nsukka, funny enough I didn't find the dialect too hard to understand. As a fresh person to the Nsukka area in 2007, my comprehension ability was at about 75% to 80%. Also, the Nsukka dialect spoken in the township tends to be less 'concentrated' or a lil centralized compared to the dialects of the interior, this I guess is due to the presence and convergence of other Igbo speakers in the town.

Someone once said here before, as a nwafor born and bred in the east, you'd be able to understand, at least, other Igbo dialects to a satisfactory extent. He may be right.

Pritypussi:
Ask your sisters who sleep around with poor men in Nigeria. I'm sure the least any of them has had is 20
yea we chicks love dick like that. you can open their panties one after the other to confirm

Pritypussi:
when your mom the chief harlot in Italy sends my flight ticket

forgiveness:
People are saying Obiano performed better than Okorocha without substantiating, how and why it is so.

Let someone provide facts that Obiano is better than Okorocha, sefini. until then I don't believe.

Pritypussi:
No difference between the two. They are all useless in that region dishing out bad governance
A survey across the SE will prove me right. The least developed and habitable region in the whole of Africa

medpren:
The white kid is not Igbo. But here is a yoruba skull point east while his ewedu face faces ogbomosho in the SW. More IPOB-induced pains to pro-dullard oblong ewedu skulls....

owobokiri:
Obiano actually needs somebody to pinch his ballooning ego by telling him the blunt truth straight to his funny face. As dangerous as Okorocha has become to igbo interests, the truth remains that Obiano is a distraction the igbo can do without and you bemused lot from Anambra should stop making this an Imo vs Anambra affair, Imo people have no interests in that childish quarrel... That Arrogant Obiano is the reason the governors don't meet anymore because he doesn't want to meet Rochas who campaigned against him during the Anambra governorship elections. Somebody should tell him that It is politics, he should get over it! There is no major achievement to his name apart from the bridges to now-where that he is building endlessly in his village. Peter Obi and Ngige actually covered a lot of space for him otherwise wind for don blow for him nyansh. Obiano should stop acting like an "adamma masquered". There is Nothing special with his style of governing..

Probz:
As the title says, what's the most urban-sounding/upmarket vs. the most unrefined, rural-sounding dialect in your native tongue?

For me, Igbo - Onitsha (classiest), Nsukka/Ebonyi (bushiest). I no sabi which one is bushier between the Izzi-Ezza cluster of Ebonyi and the Waawa of rural Enugu. They both sound horrible and both are equally unintelligible to mainstream Igboland.

ChinenyeN:
So, "Igbo" people can now get offended when "Igbo" people speak "Igbo" language nowadays? Or is it because it is "weird" Ngwa and not "sweet sweet" Anambra that people will now become offended? Are we no longer "Igbo" people anymore speaking "Igbo" language? Abeg. Just continue enjoying the thread. Someone writing in Ngwa should never be reason enough for you or anyone else to turn sour unless you have some sort of internal issue with Ngwa.

coolscott:
You don't understand. GEJ is not their kinsman. If he really was igbo, don't you know the things they would have done would have been extreme?

In the first place, all over Nigeria, from the north to the south, we would never stop hearing them tell the rest of us how they are better and smarter than us all. Their story would be that they are so smart that they are ruling us in our own country.

Their ego's craving to be associated with power (the presidency ) is so ravenous that they made every possible and imaginable case for the idea that the ijaw riverine people of the south south are somehow one with them, a people they have always accused of being saboteurs for supporting the Nigerian army during the Biafran war, and a people who they have had a derogatory name for for generations.

GEJ was their man just as much as much as Donald Trump is their man who will take actions to ensure the emergence of Biafra during his time as president.

Dreamwaker:
Nigeria is unbreakable, we will never be divided. The people who want to divide Nigeria will run mad and die before the end of 2017.

Lets patronize our own.. ibo kwuenu!!

You are not even trying at all, kid.

RedboneSmith:
You know, for a guy who threatens 'terrible backlashes', you are disappointingly low steam.

RedboneSmith:
You tell him to back off. I didn't direct any comments at him, but he feels he can come from nowhere and dish out insults at me. I be Delta boy. I like quarrel pass food, if that's what he wants.

GREED AND THE IGBO MAN: The Prospect of Life in an Independent Biafra.

In September 2010, I began my first journey into the Eastlands. I was happy for exploring a part of Nigeria but was afraid too for venturing into the "lions den". Yes! Lions den, because that was Onitsha especially counting years backward. The tick forest, green grass and fresh air was just WOW as we descended the slope of 9th Mile. Then I saw pretty fair ladies/girls rushing to our bus shouting gala gala, lacasera, lacasera, hmmm...I thought: these beautiful girls are hawking? Where I come from they are " big girls" looking for the next aristo. I remember telling a co commuter that "I love the business prowess of the Igbo nation". But....
As we drive into Onitsha around 8pm, everywhere looked like a war zone, everyone was in a haste, I became more inquisitive, and they said there is a curfew by 8pm because of rampant crimes ranging from killings, robbery, kidnappings etc: then my fear increased to 70%.

Now here is the main reason for this long epistle:
The Igbo man is naturally hardworking, business oriented, independent, intelligent, diplomatic there by making the Igbo Nation economically viable. But...
My experience that night while boarding a bus from Opi Iweka to Madonna(Okija) confirmed the stereotype that the Igbo man is Greedy, Exploitative, Over-Ambitious, Naive and can go any length to make money irrespective of humanity or moral standard. Some even said " The Igbo man is the number one enemy of his brother". Now this was what happened that night:
There came two old women begging the driver to accept their less transport fees, but the he refused. They rushed to the other bus, same fate. They rushed to another again, same fate. They now returned to the first bus and started pleading earnestly. To my surprise the conductors threw their bags out and maltreated these women. Nobody could bail them out. An act that is rampant and normal UP-NORTH: home of hospitality.
I recalled this incidence because of what I just read online about the current exploitation of Igbo commuters by Igbo transport companies. Onitsha to Lagos 13,000-15000. People had to donates for one particular man to pay for his four children (13k each) after he cried before the manager who refused to heed to his tears. So I begin to wonder how an independent BIAFRA will fare. One Igbo guy said "Biafra will be a hell for the poor...they will roast us with high prices of everything". As hard as it is, I think he is right.
Life is expensive in the East mostly because of " Igbotic Greed". There is high distrust among the Igbo Nation, and until they fight that, my lovely BIAFRA will forever be a mirage. #Peace #GiveusBiafraorwedie #Reality

How terrible? I would get cancer? I would lose my job? My girlfriend would dump me? My mother would die?

When people threaten fire and brimstone and 'terribleness' on anonymous websites, one can't help but feel amused. If you like gather all the spit in your mouth, patapata you will spit on your phone and your fingers. You may even give yourself a heart attack over what I clearly intended to be a baiting comment for ethnic chauvinists, like you and the other guys. Congratulations, you took the bait.

Yoruba culture is more impactful and advanced than Igbo culture. Comman beat me.

pazienza:
You rile no one up but yourself.
I have been on this forum since 2007, I have seen it all. I know your type well enough to be the least troubled by your own instability.
You had the temerity to denigrate the Igbo race by assigning an inferior position to it, before Yoruba culture, and you think your Igbophobic forays will come unnoticed and unaddressed?

You are dreamer.
