@abagworo,

Don't spew heavy disinformation here. Your totally embarrassing and FALSE narrative right ABOVE will NOT be tolerated. I've done a lot of advanced reading on the history of the Olukumis since the 1980s right till date so I know a lot about them. I started noticing a high rate of hate speech, disinformation and expansionist agenda coming from some young posters online from the east of River Niger in the year 2010 who threatened to chase the Olukumis off their own Olukumi ancestral lands. By the grace of the ancestors, the over 80 million strong Yorubas worldwide will resist this by any means necessary! NOBODY should ever openly threaten anyone like these paid ipob troll farms are doing because they have Yoruba, Benin, Esan, Ibibio, Isokos, Igala, Ikwere roots in the expansionist agenda being propagated online.

You that your ancestors migrated to Oguta in the current Imo State, how would you feel if somebody came up like you have done in your post to say that they are NOT Oguta owners? As for the Olukumi's, the Aniocha people you alluded to NEVER accomodated them. Aniocha North and other parts of Anioma (or Delta North) is an ethnically diverse place in terms of origin as confirmed by Reverend Father Kinirum Osia. All Olukumis used their Yoruba names in the past BUT with time due to acculturations, they picked up Edo names and Iboid names in addition to their Olukumi names. This is why the king of Ugbodu or Oloza (Oloja) is known as HRM Ayo Isinyemeze. The iconic 1985 under 17 FIFA soccer star, Nduka Ugbade ALSO comes from Ugbodu. They speak their Olukumi dialect of Yoruba and it's clearly understandable to those who listen well. Zeal of music group "Style Plus" too is an Olukumi and many Olukumis occupy significant positions in business, government, the armed forces, tech, etc.

The Olukumi's were the FIRST EVER to settle in their lands centuries back NOT on any Iboland.
There were different waves of migrations into what is now called Anioma today including Agbor, Issele Uku, Olukumi lands, etc, of Yoruba people from Yorubaland including USEN (a Yoruba town with an Oba Oluogbe Ii in the current Ovia South West LGA of Edo State), Benin, and Esanland not just Owo. The Yoruba connection with the Royal Palace lineage in Benin via USEN (Afelogiyan who was Oranmiyan's older biological brother was the FIRST EVER traditional ruler of USEN many centuries back and they proudly claim Ile Ife as where they come from) and USEN plays a strong role in the coronation ceremony of every Oba of Benin. There are videos on YouTube showing USEN indigenes of Edo State affirming their Ile Ife and Yoruba ancestries.


Infact the Ugbodu people (located close to Issele Uku the Aniocha North headquarters) who are one of the Olukumi groups share direct boundaries with the Esan people of Esanland. It was through Esanland that the came into their current location. Nobody accomodated them and you will NEVER here any of the neighbors of the Olukumi's make such a very dubious comment. It's only Ibos from the east of the river Niger that have been spreading that terrible disinformation that will be crushed.

Last but NOT least, Anioma is made up of people of multiple ethnic ancestries from centuries back from the Igalas (who are also Yoruboid because 65% of words in Igala are derived purely from Yoruba language and Igalas partly have some Yoruba, Edo, Wukari migrant ancestries according to a 2017 Punch interview granted by the Attah of Igala, Michael Ameh Oboni which can still be read online), Yoruba, Bini-Edo, Esan-Edo, Nri descents in different Anioma communities. Anioma is NOT culturally monolithic and CANNOT be claimed as Ibo. Reverend Father Kinirum Osia who hailed from Obamkpa in Aniocha North ALSO granted several powerful interviews where he condemned the attempt by Ibos east of River Niger to disrespect Anioma folks by claiming that Anioma is Ibo. What is even the etymology of the name Ibo? It's just a name that was adopted by the British Colonialists about 150 years ago BUT gained traction after 1900 to describe the different distinct groups of people such as the Ngwa, Owere, Oka, Mbaise, Oguta, etc, into a collective umbrella. That's how the concept of an Ibo tribe evolved with the White man and the coming of the missionaries such as Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther who as a trained linguist and clergyman wrote the FIRST EVER book in Ibo language entitled: "Isoama-Ibo: A Primer" in 1855 based off of his experience of writing the FIRST EVER Yoruba alphabet, dictionary and books in 1843. Prior to that, these subgroups of what is now called Ibo didn't call themselves as Ibos until much into the 1900s.

Unknown to the younger ones and the uninformed, the term IBO (Igbo) has it's ORIGINAL origins and was ONLY used in a condescending or derogatory sense by the ethnic neighbors of those in the Ibo (Igbo) interior as a term to describe "slaves or bush-dwelling" people who engaged in cannibalism and there are advanced history books that I will attach BELOW as evidence. The Igalas [who captured Ibos as slaves and sold them to the people of Aboh which was a major slave port now in Delta State] called Ibos (ONIGBO), the Benin-Edos used the term "IGBON" meaning slaves to refer to Ibos, the Asaba folks used the term "ONYE IGBO" as a term of contempt as well because East of the river Niger was the primary source of slaves.

Obiedun:
It doesn't matter. Richard Mofe Damijo is an urhobo man but he bears Itsekiri'name

ProudlyLagos:
you can direct your grievance to the ikwerres, who have consistently Denied being ibo I even had this conversation with my ikwerre friend yesterday while have some drinks and he told me they are not Igbos but their ancestors migrated from Benin and they were married to ibo women but itesekiris on the other hand have never denied their Yoruba heritage even though we no send them weather they chose to identify with us or not

zero8zero:
Social media has lied to you that Anioma is Igbo. Go to Anioma communities in Delta and cure your ignorance, stop arguing with me.

Gustavowhite:
Nobody is coercing anybody,am sure you cant even differentiate an uche from there and another from Igbo mainland,you guys that even call Benins “omo ibo”

zero8zero:
Anioma is multi ethnic and multi cultural. We have igala, Urhobo, Olukumi, igbos, Agbor, Ika etc are part of Anioma.

Putindbutt:
But you can see them here identifying with their ancestral kinsmen and not ibos. The fact that people are your neighbors doesn't mean they have to be ibo, that's why you are coercing SS minorities as ibos.

Fiscus105:
In fact, I'm begging for Abacha regime to come back, ( if possible) since it can't, let any military govt. I have since realised that, yesteryears freedom fighters, were fighting then, just to grab power, and not because of their love for masses, as they made us realized then.

Zonefree:
Nigerians jubilated more than this on hearing the news of Abacha's death.

Decades later, same Abacha's evil government is far better than Tinubu's government.

JuicyEarth:
This is Ogborhill. The uncompleted building overlooking the bridge is the popular Enyimba Hotels which the current administration plans on turning to a resort. Converting the waterline and environ to a hub for luxury and recreation. Enumeration of property that already encroached into the Government acquired land has already begun.

Aba is alive now!

TheChameleon:
Same Aba...

anonimi:
I thought it would be about the Geometric power plant and its 24/7 electricity.

What is happening with the power plant

baralatie:
Some pipu are saying the first pics are in onotsha Anambra o

lumens:









All thanks to Orji Uzo Kalu, OUK for laying the fantastic blueprint and plan for the development of the commercial city.

As for Otti, I sincerely hope he is not spending too much for his projects after handling the Port Harcourt -Aba road for more than 30 billion naira for a 6km road, I'm skeptical.

Ttipsy:
Aba in a come back lol

MKPUOGALIGA:
This is Onicha , Anambra

IGBOPROMISE1:
That pic is DMGS roundabout, Onitsha.

TheChameleon:
Or else

How is it extortion ? Don't you know those guys have roles they play too? They don't pay taxes in Aba markets right ?

seuncyrus:
This is an interesting analogy. Are there any books I can read more about this ?

DomPerignon:
Josephus's Identification:
The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (1st century CE) identified the Hyksos with the Hebrews, drawing parallels between their arrival in Egypt, their subsequent rule, and their eventual expulsion, aligning them with the biblical story of Joseph and the Exodus.

Manetho's Account:
The Egyptian historian Manetho also connected the Hyksos to the Israelites in his writings, though his account is often interpreted with skepticism.

Semitic Origins:
The Hyksos were Semitic people who originated in the Levant and settled in Egypt, similar to the Israelites' origins and their later arrival in Egypt.
Similarities in Names and Customs:
Some scholars have noted similarities in personal names and customs between the Hyksos and Israelites, further suggesting a connection.

Biblical Exodus:
The expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt aligns with the biblical account of the Israelites' Exodus, further strengthening the proposed connection.

DomPerignon:
Moses is neither a Jewish or Christian figure

Moses isn't even Hebrew but was the illegitimate child of an Egyptian Princess who birthed him secretly from an affair she had and came up with the excuse that she saw him on the banks of the river Nile floating in a basket crib.

Horse shit.

Will a mother hoping to save her child from being killed on the orders of the pharaoh dump said child in the croc and hippo infested Nile rivers ?


Moses did not speak Hebrew and that's why he claimed to be a stutteterr and spoke through Aaron.

Moses did not keep by Hebrew tradition of marrying only within his race but instead he married a black Nubian woman.

Moses was forced into exile by his step brother Ramsey over a throne dispute.

Moses returned back to Egypt to wrest the throne from Ramsey .

Ramsey's father had secured power back to the indigenous Egyptian people after a long 400y brutal occupation by a foriegn Caanite tribe known as the Hyksos.

This is why the bible narrates the emergence of a Pharaoh who did not believe in the caanite god .

You can read up on the Hyksos and see that they were the Hebrews .


The Hyksos took over Egypt and ruled it with a tight fist . The also introduced monotheism into Egypt.

When the Egyptians seized back their country they banished the Hyksos from holding power and relegated them to a quarter outside the main cities aka Goshen.

Moses ran to the wastelands of Canaan and formed alliance with the Semitic Canannite lawless tribe.

Moses then decided he will get the throne from Ramsey by stirring up the non indigenous Semitic population to support his bid.

But Ramsey wanted none of it and expelled all foreigners from Egypt. This was the point Egypt stopped being multicultural.

gracealonev:
The commissioning of the non-existent road is similar to Buhari's government shamelessly borrowing bags of rice to form a pyramid in Abuja just to deceive Nigerians that the country was self-sufficient in rice production.

One day, the citizens would be permanently cured of the malady of indifference!

WizardOfNG:
Liverpool possible. Especially as Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota are likely departing. Not too sure Real Madrid is feasible.

ProudlyLagos:
Otondo, go to new owerri and post parts of the town and see empty buildings and not just in IMO state, most part of ibo land have been deserted and ran to Lagos.

EyeCumInPeace:
At this rate, 72virgins per person may not be enough to go round.

Omotaday:
Yeah, bomb an hospital, plant the corpse and other evidence and then take zionist journalists to bear your witness.

Use that as justification to bomb more hospitals, schools, mosques, churches and libraries.

Only f00ls still believe Israel.

bewla:
Keep on killing

One day freedom will come

ProudlyLagos:
😂😂😂keep deceiving yourself….Otondo, I served in owerri and did my camp in Umuna bende Abia state you think I’m one of those you can gaslight? Empty buildings abound in SE where most of the owner have all deserted them for Lagos and Yorubaland😂😂😂 no real economic activities going on in SE aside from onitsha and maybe aba which are commercial centres no other location, Abi is owerri full of just hotel and hook up girls from world bank to control and Douglas or how many foreign and local investors are in SE?

gabbytabby:
Common sense is not so common. Impeachment over contract to a trusted hand.

Haters will always hate.

Them no fenifere oh. People in the axis know taking 3 to 5 hours just between Sangotedo and start of lekki Épé so commissioning is already over 10 years overdue so that people can start to use it.

PBAT and Uzodimma we appreciate you.

Bullshit lies. Since when did it take 3-5 hrs from Sangotedo to lekki Epe? It doesn't even take up to 2hrs from Ikoyi to Sangotedo

dedonfranco:
What ever two of them are doing I support them because they're closer to their people.
