I didn't find any part of saving private Ryan to be emotional. Hacksaw ridge however, yeah some parts were quite emotional... Like when his father stood up for him during his trial, when he stood for his principles despite all the pressure and abuse he received.

how did Katsina camp not make the list? That camp was nice when I served in 2015, very spacious, clean and nice with interlocking parade ground and a nice looking pavilion. It's general assembly hall was decorated with marbles and the hostels were well built too. The play field is very large too , it had a football pitch, tracks, volleyball court and basketball court.

Broveens42:
Lol. The way you guys underrate this owerri eeh.

Ph city has nothing. where you have top oil companies are at the off shores of other LGA'S in Rivers State.

Whereas you have the Nigeria's largest gas company, few kilometers from owerri city center and also oil(on shore); by next year, owerri will sit pretty 2nd on the log.

NB: the revenue generated from hospitality industry in owerri, per anum, runs in billions.


Pic1: somewhere in Area E, owerri
Pic2: somewhere in Area H, owerri

You're minding these ones who have never been to Ph and Owerri all their lives?

Bar1941:
One-third of that number are people from other regions especially your southeast.

ok now 1/3 is now from SE abi? But when they talk about the Lagos economy you will forget that it's still the SE people that's boosting the Lagos economy.

Bosman17:
You have not compared apple with apple… the population of Oyo state is perhaps more than the entire south east combined… so it’s normal their’ll be more out of school children in SW.
What is however strange and unfathomable is that their are more crimes and criminalities in SE and SS region despite their fewer population

You people have come again. Lol... Which one is that Oyo population is more than the entire SE? How then is the SE economy still better than SW apart from Lagos which is a melting pot for every tribe? How come this number didn't translate during the general elections?
You people should calm down with hyperbolic statements

wirinet:
And you know how many billionaires in Ibadan? Yoruba millionaire and billionaires do not make as much noise as their Igbo counterparts. Not every billionaires dey show off like Obi Cubana and Co.

they have millionaires yet their face no dey show for statistics . ... That means na Audio millionaires them be. Most of them are indigenes who sold their properties to Igbo estate developers, then use the Money to buy jeep and sew Lace material then use the remaining to play Baba ijebu . When the money is about to finish they will run to Lagos and start Agbero work .. Don't mind my joke 🤣, but the fact is that although there are millionaires and billionaires in Ibadan, they're not an indication of a good economy. It's all about how quickly and frequently Money changes hands and at what value. How many people from all over the country and neighbouring countries troop into Ibadan to trade in their markets? Whatever the number is, it is dwarfed by the number in Aba, Onicha, Owerri and Enugu.

LZAA:
T9sky is just scared of heebooo doominatioon

lol.. ụgbọ ya biara leti . That ship don sail tey tey, let him better advice his people to start learning Apprenticeship under ìgbo traders in Alaba, Balogun etc if they don't want us to rename Lagos one day

wirinet:
Stati-nonsense. How can Jos and Aba have better economy than Ibadan, Abeokuta and Asaba? Jos that has been taken over by Fulani Herdsmen, and Onitsha that has been ravaged by IPOB. Even Maiduguri that's Boko Haram territory is said to have better economy than most southern capitals.

Here is a list of states with the highest IGR in Nigeria. This fairly represent states with cities with best economies, and not those states being ravaged by terrorists.

lol... When are you people going to understand what IGR really is?
Aba definitely has better economy than Ibadan, do you know how many big markets are there in Aba? Do you have any idea the millions of people who come to these markets to buy and sell goods and services ? People come from all over the country and even from neighbouring countries too. Aba traders and artisans export their goods all over the country and beyond, Rivers state, Akwa ibom, Ebonyi and Umuahia are heavily dependent on Aba for trading, that's 3 states that Aba serves. You think it's by IGR? How many people troop into Ibadan for businesses?

Same way with Onicha, Aba and onicha are basically twin brothers in terms of trading capacity and economy. You think the exaggerated news of IPOB issues has any negative effects on the economy of onicha? Lol... Landlord travel and see

ProudlyLagos:
be deceiving yourself, yet non of your 5sh!tty state is as economically viable as Ibadan……what economic activities is going on in owerri aside from hotels? What about Enugu? Your regional capital, they can’t even boast of portable water not to talk of industries.

Aside from onitsha and aba,what other commercial city do you have in SE? You seem to be jubilating over this while reality hits differently, even the trend of migration still show Sw is the economic capital of the country, if I were you I will take this stats with a pinch of salt

Yeah I was waiting for your comment and I knew it was going to be filled with bitterness, jealousy and cries.

Ibadan is not more economically viable than the entire SE states, it's not even more Economically viable than Anambra according to the statistics by budgetIT, so stop lying . Yes with only hotel business they are able to overshadow the entire South west apart from Lagos that's being dominated by South East people.

Lol... So it's only Onicha and ABA that you know? You don't know about Enugu and it's Ogbete market, New heaven market etc?
You keep proving beyond every reasonable doubt how you don't know anything. Ignorant fellow.

The reason why SE people are migrating to SW is because the competition in ala igbo is already stiff, so we're branching out to SW which is the New frontier to dominate the markets and completion there too, and truly we're doing a remarkable job, Dominating both home and abroad.

Shey you were spreading lies about how igbo Land is abandoned with empty houses everywhere? So tell how is it that an abandoned region is still richer than SW? You see how your lies don't hold up well with Facts?

Make e pain you well well.

Godsonkemz:
Wayo figures. How could owerri without a manufacturing industry let alone a reputable oil industry be leading pH with oil industries, chemical and manufacturing industries.

They have hotels, clubs, places where people go to spend money. it's like Las Vegas

IkeOnyia:
Sokoto ahead of PH The person who compiled the list must have been high on colos

it's very possible. Ask yourself, how many people come to pH to trade? People in pH come to Aba to buy their goods, same way people all over the north come to Sokoto to trade, buy and sale.

mrvitalis:
Remind me again what do you go to port Harcourt Abeokuta or Ibadan to buy

People track money movement that's what's economic power

Port Harcourt is practically supplied by Aba and Onitsha the Lagos

Ph is heavily dependent on Ariaria market.

T9ksy:
Yeah? ........yet, you all troop down to the SW like your flippin' existence depends on being in the place.

Btw, how many igbos do you know, that resides in Somalia?

You the poster, i bet you are another economic migrant from alaigbo land, comfortably now living somewhere in ijebu-ode in the same SW, you so hatefully compared to somalia.

So Igbos troop down to Lagos like our existence depends on it and still have the best economy in Nigeria apart from Lagos? This shows that Igbo are controlling both the Lagos economy and south east economy.
Even though we dey carry Una handicap on Monday we still dey top table

XerXers:
These 4 SE A-List cities are experiencing unprecedented growth. I have been telling people that Aba GDP per Capita is highest in Nigeria apart from Abuja and Lagos but they argued, especially PH people with their "oyel" mentality . This stat proves me right

people underestimate Aba due to the poor state of the infrastructures especially the roads ( thank God for Otto who's giving the city a face lift) but the economy is very strong. People come from different parts of the country and even from neighbouring countries to buy and sell in Aba, and lots of goods are being exported to different parts of the country and beyond on a daily basis.

Ofemannnu:
Best Economies on paper.
Go and check the night buses.

lol... They dominate in South East and then book night bus to go to Lagos and dominate there too. Every major market in Lagos is dominated by People from South East, that should tell you something.

ukukaegbu:
Aba
Enugu
Owerri
Onitsha

And they are sitting at home doing nothing, according to the sophisticated morons

That's the morons that say Ibadan economy is better than the entire South East .. how many top markets dey for Ibadan? They don't know how many millionaires that are in Ariaria, ahịa cemetery, Ahịa ọhụrụ, shopping centre. ... And that's just Aba. Now when you go to Anambra/ onicha.

Ibo-Igala Wars
=>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo%25E2%2580%2593Igala_wars


Fourth, the Iconic book, "The Igbo-Igala Borderland" [written by an American academic who taught at University of Nigeria, Nsukka back from the 1960s to the 1970s] whose book cover screenshot I also ATTACHED earlier to my post ABOVE CLEARLY states that:

"When, in the late eighteenth century, the Igala CONQUERED the indigenous Igbo, they gained and held social control through monopoly of certain..."

=>https://sunypress.edu/Books/T/The-Igbo-Igala-Borderland2


The Igala conquests and colonisation of Northern Ibo areas of Northern Enugu especially Nsukka including parts of Anambra (and Northern Delta State) ALSO led to people from these conquered area being sold as SLAVES. The Igala war machine during the Ibo-Igala Wars didn't extend to other parts of what is now the South East.

=>https://www.facebook.com/nigeriahistoryupdate/posts/igala-colonisation-of-northern-igbo-communities-1450-18th-centurythe-igala-mega-/

Fifth, again, the screenshots of the advanced book sources I ATTACHED CLEARLY state the accurate and ORIGINAL etymology of the word Ibo (Igbo) which has condescending and derogatory connotations as used by the neighbors of the people now called Ibo unknown to some younger Ibos today who have NO knowledge of the original meaning which means SLAVE or OUT CAST from the bush. This is why the Igala call slaves "ONIGBO," the Benin-Edos used the term "IGBON" and the Asaba and Onitsha refered condescendingly to those in the Ibo interior as "ONYE IBO" (IGBO) because East of river Niger was source of SLAVES for them before 1900 and even well after 1900. Igala being a Yoruboid language (with 65% mutual intelligibility with Yoruba language) has the pure Yoruba word "IGBO" in the word Igala word "ONIGBO" which means bush or forest in Yoruba BUT further means a "slave got from the bush" in Igala hence the derogatory name for slaves, "ONIGBO."



The name Ibo (Igbo) as used to describe a tribe east of river Niger had NO positive connotation of ANY kind at all! Ngwa, Owere, Awka, Mbaise, etc, were the names used by the subgroups to individually describe themselves until the advent of the missionaries and the British Colonialists who began to officially use the same condescending term "Ibo" to describe all the interior tribes that now make up the Ibo tribe of today. It's all a British Colonial creation. These FACTS are CLEARLY emphasized upon in the historical archives.

As for the Igala conquering and colonising the Igbo people, the relationship between the Igbo and Igala was complex, involving periods of conflicts, cultural exchange and political tension. But outright conquest of igbo Lands by the Igala is debated by historians.

The Igala kingdom ( present day Kogi) under the Attah of Igala expanded southward into northern Igbo areas ( e.g Nsukka, Enugu -Ezike, Nkpologu) between the 17th-19th centuries. Igala warriors established and levied some Igbo communities but they didn't fully conquer them in the sense of permanent occupation , they were conducting raids, capturing and selling Igbo people in slave markets in Aboh and Idah.
However, northern Igbo groups like Umunri, Nsukka resisted the Igala and by 19th century many had regained autonomy.

"THE IGALA KINGDOM" by J.S Boston (1968)
"the Igala exacted tribute from border Igbo communities, but lacked administrative machinery for direct rule. Their influence was mere cultural than imperial"

"IGBO -IGALA RELATIONS by A.E Afigbo(1981)
"the Igala raids were disruptive but did not constitute conquest, igbo societies absorbed and resisted the Igala pressure in equal measure "

So although the igala exerted military pressure and cultural influence on the northern Igbo communities, They didn't achieve sustained conquest. The relationship was more about raids, trade and intermittent dominance than wholesale subjugation.

As the Igala kingdom expanded southward under Attah Ayegba Ọma idoko( mostly just around Enugu) they clashed with Umunri a powerful Igbo group near Nsukka. The Igala initially gained control and levied taxes like yams, slaves. However the Umunri rebelled and reclaimed autonomy.
Even the Igalas Ogurugu campaigning ended in a stalemate, they couldn't gain control there. They also attacked Izzi-igbo in present day Abakiliki but the locals fought them off using guerilla tactics.
Also, at Ụzọ uwani in 1850s, when the Igala demanded tribute from Akụ igbo, The Aku people led by a woman named Omu okwei poisoned Igala tax collectors and burned their outposts. The Igala had to withdraw from there.

So indeed the Igala won some battles but they couldn't maintain any hold on Igbo land long enough due to Igbo resistance and decentralised government.

So please stop spreading all these quark theories that has no truth in it. The Igala Never conquered any major part of igbo Land.

And also Igbo or onigbo doesn't mean slave in Igala.

So it's totally bullshit to say that the Igala who couldn't even conquer up to 20 percent of Igbo land where the ones who termed them Igbo, that's complete nonsense! The Igala couldn't even hold a place for long and couldn't fully subjugate the Igbo fully, so how possible is it that they regarded them as slaves or conquered people especially when it's just border communities that they encountered?
Igbo people in the hinterlands have been calling themselves IGBO or ndígbo for centuries and they never encountered the Igala.

So please go and your ass one side with that your quark theories, scholars have refuted this bullshit already.

It's all a British Colonial creation. These FACTS are CLEARLY emphasized upon in the historical archives.

please can you stop spreading this bullshit claims already?

In Igala language the term for slave is Ójó pronounced (Oh joh). This refers to individuals captured in wars or treaded during pre colonial times. Although that term is now considered as archaic due to its association with transatlantic slave trade. But that is the word for Slave in ancient Igala during the pre colonial times.
In contemporary usage, phrases like ọde eni ( servant) or ọme ọni ( dependant) might be preferred for neutrality.
Igala oral traditions sometimes reference slavery in proverbs : Ójó léké égba ògwu ( A Slave who survives becomed a storyteller)

As for the term for "OUTCAST" or "SOCIALLY OSTRACIZED PERSON" is Ọ̀mè-ọ̀chè . There are some other contextual variations like Ọ̀me-èfu, ọ̀me-àtọ and Ọ̀me-ọlè.
Go and ask any Igala person and they will educate you more on this.

So your claims that onigbo or igbo means slaves in Igala is wrong and total bullshit! Anyone who says that should be regarded as a quark and should be ignored because he/she is wrong based on standard Igala language and historical- linguistic evidence, and I'm going to Tell you why

As previously established, Ójó is the universally accepted Igala word for Slave across dialects ( Idah, Ankpa, Dekina etc) .

Onigbo in Igala means Igbo person (ONI = person, IGBO= igbo ethnic group). It is not synonymous with slave, it's an ethnic identifier just as Onèja means Hausa person.

Possible confusion or misinterpretation

During the trans Saharan/Atlantic slave trade,some Igbo people were enslaved and sold through Igala middlemen (e.g at the Aboh and Idah slave markets). so overtime some outsiders or even locals might have conflated the ethnic term Onigbo with slavery due to this history .
And if we look at academic sources, John Idakwoji's Igala-English lexicon confirms that Ójó is the correct term in Igala linguistics. And Modern Igala communities reject Onigbo as meaning slavery because it's an ethnic libel.
So while some Igbo people were sold as slaves, their ethnic name ≠ the word for Slavery.

HERE ARE DIRECT QUOTES FROM HISTORICAL TEXTS, PROVERBS, SCHOLARLY SOURCES That disproves the claims that igbo/Onigbo means slaves in Igala and affirms that Ójó is the correct term.

"THE IGALA KINGDOM" (1972) by J.S Boston:
"The Igala referes to slaves generally as Ójó, whether captured or through war, trade or punishment. The term Onigbo was preserved solely for Igbo neighbours not servitude"

"THE NIGERIAN HINTERLAND SLAVE TRADE" (1989) by A.J.N Tremeane:
"At the Idah slave markets, records show that slaves were called Ójó, regardless of ethnicity, the term Igbo appears only to describe captives of igbo origin, not as synonym for slavery

Here are also proverbs in Igala

Ójó léké égba ògwu, Òméja léké égba ògwu ( A Slave who survives becomes a storyteller, a free person who survives becomes a storyteller)

Átá y'Ójó kome y'ọmeja (The king's slave and the king's freeborn are not equal)

Also If you check the Igala-English lexicon dictionary (2015) by John Idawoji:
Ójó: n, Slave, servant≠ Onigbo(n, Igbo person)

A GRAMMAR OF IGALA(2020) by E.J Alagoa
"No lexical or archival evidence supports "Onigbo" as slave in Igala. This conflation likely stems from 19th century slave trade narratives misinterpreting ethnic labels"

This whole misinformation likely stems from post ethnic stigma or interethnic tensions, but linguistic rigor and historical records dispel it.

Go read those books I referenced and cure your ignorance. There's an Igala dictionary, look for it also. Ask any Igala person whether what I wrote here is bullshit or not. Not even a single Igala person would agree with you on your fake and quark theories.
