Correct. My maternal ancestor came from onicha ugbo to settle in obosi.

Torch1: @Ejiné
Nwanne, i just saw a reference u provided about Ozubulu(Ozobulu), Oraifite, Onitsha etc migrating from the present Anioma to Anambra state.
I onced asked my elders the history of Ozubulu(my town) and they told me that our ancestors migrated from Ubulu Ukwu in Delta state to the present Ozubulu in Ekwusigo L.G.A.
I don't know whether it is true or just a myth but they said that Ubulu gave his son the name Ozo-dimekwu, when Ozodumekwu grew up, he learnt about the legendry of his father(Ubulu)and to honour him, he decided to evolve a new name for his group. This name was Ozo-Ubulu, a name carefully coined out from his name and that of the father. There was an internal strife which culminated in Ubulu-Ukwu group by virtue of thier large number making the Ozo-ubulu group uncomfortable. The Ozoubulu group then decided to find an alternative place and to leave the original home Ubulu-ukwu.
Back to topic..
I think O'gbeni Aregbe is just making an O'lodo suggestion.

Gbam!

SNCOQ3: Please tell them. For years, Nigeria has been sweeping "dirt" under the carpet. Pretending as if the dirt don't exist anymore - the "dirt" under the carpet is now breeding "cockroaches and rats" in form of Boko Haram, ethic millitia etc.

Shuo who turn your key? Abi u wan jonze o! Why u dey see my ppl for dream na?

ilugunboy: Igbos...you hate Yorubas..hate the leaders..but you are in love with its land. Hatred will kill you all.

Terry G is a bundle of energy and earthy creativity but I think he made a mistake in trying to use this house beat. It just slowed him down. But still the song no bad

Na wa for this jobless army of bloggers. Threatening to kill people over the internet. If una know say dem born una well, go to idumota where my brothers dey make their daily bread and repeat some of this cannabis induced shakara and see if u go survive am. Rubbish yarn, that's why people are buying pump acttion guns in case devil push una enough.

Boko Haram wouldn't dare bomb lagos. Even if they really wanted to, their financiers and supporters who have billion naira assets and businesses in places like apapa and agege will beg them not to, I'm certain of that.

On the flipside if they make the mistake, the north will have very little left to do with the south and we (south) can finally have our own snc to decide how we want to live as one or more countries.

There has to be a scientific term to describe this multiple ID habit. It looks like some form of psychological condition

Apapa has a high concentration of northerners so some boko haram supporters\sleepers will definitely be there too. After all wasn't kabiru sokoto spotted there before he was arrested. As for the former head of state referred to, why all the puzzyfooting around? The FG should get him already.

Even if they are taking them to the sahara desert must it go public? I don tire for this media hogging security agencies

If Aregbesola really calls osun state, "the state of osun", replaced the coat of arms with his own, has his own militia trying to take over the duties of law enforcement among other stuff then people should kindly lay partisan politics aside. The man is setting the most dangerous precedent since the sharia issue that started in zamfara

If aregbesola really has replaced the national anthem, allows his goons to invade schools to enforce wearing of the hijab etc the man should be watched very closely. Partiisan politics aside that looks like conduct befitting of serious attention and investigation.

Meeeen! Nigeria get wahala sha. PDP thieves and sluggards on one hand, ACN nurtw thugs on the other. Both fighting for power.

olayinka1987: Yes and we've all seen how Hausa people treat the Igbos up there haven't we? Just wait until the next time the Northerner wakes up feeling thirsty for Igbo blood..You'll see what will happen

O boy no deceive yourself. Its obvious u either know nigeria via the internet or just looking for something that sounds smart to say. Northern mobs will murder ANY non northerner they find. You better pray that none of your own kinsmen are butchered when the nonsense you are praying for happens. It has been happening but I guess your twisted pseudo-sexual fantasy for an igbo person dying outweighs the sense of loss when a yoruba man is murdered. Dude u need counselling

@Dudu negro - why u dey talk like this? So igbo ppl dey lagos because of the "warmth"?? If na warmth why are they not in other parts of the sw?

Secondly which kin opata u dey spray say alaba was not part of the fct. Lagos state was the capital of nigeria and ikeja was d capital of lagos, chikena! Were all those places u called not in lagos? Haba

Lastly wetin u mean by hausas would have driven igbos out if it had been the north? . There are more igbos up north than the south west. You don go kano before

Bk.biatch97 - you and your venereal disease infested family are such non-entities that even if u died 1000 times nobody not even your ghetto colleagues would notice or remember. You are at best a callous beast\bastar.d of a LovePeddler mother and rapist father. F.uck you and the accursed lineage of worms from which u sprang

@ ji_sun-pack - I hope you're not a man utd fan. Getting ur ass whooped by a female

@ Chuksikem - meanwhile i havent been in lagos for a while but Badore, Ajah is my neighborhood, hope the rainstorm didnt flood the place

Anambra state is suffering because Peter Obi is busy with his day job as GEJ's Personal Assistant. Despite his boy -boy work in abuja, he has not been able to attract anything meaningful to the state from the centre. Anambra has suffered terrible, corrupt, clueless and backward leadership since back when. Besides the brief spark of Ngige there's been nobody else to write home about. From Mbadinuju, Andy Ubah to Peter Obi. I am hearing that the next person who will likely take over is Ifeanyi Uba of Capital Oil . We don suffer o!

omosexy1:
Why would Uwazuruike come out in the public to make sensitive statements, reading this makes me question his person. He should know he is a leader and should be careful about the kind of statements he makes. A pragmatic leader quietly works on his plans or objectives rather than shout about it. Basonut wait a minute, It is not only the Ibos that are affected, other ethnic groups are also affected. It baffles me why Northerners would carry out such callous killings. Yet, it is not enough for us all to fight each other or even go to war. We should take a clue from South Africans, they have had their own problems, however, they are still thriving. Many people would blame Sir Luggard for the amalgamation, what if it had worked, what if our leaders were not selfish. The world would envy our diversity, our uniqueness, our culture, our ability to live and thrive together and our economy. This is what we should be preaching about. The North is not the problem of Nigeria, our leaders (past and present) are the problem including Ojukwu. Their decisions costed us a civil war and their decisions is still creating problems.

Correct! Sensible statement

I like rochas and his hands on approach. He's doing a marvelous job on the permanent site of IMSU i agree but i cant fathom why he plans to have 3 universities. Imo already has IMSU, Alvan Ikoku College and Nekede Poly. He should just expand capacity and focus on quality instead of quantity.

Anyways the man is full of surprises, i wish him well

Uwazurike makes a statement in response to boko haram and northern mobs murdering igbos and here we have yorubas jumping up and down to chip in their own two cents about what they think about igbos. abi some of una don sign MOU with boko haram and sultan of sokoto. Abeg make we know wetin dey?

^^^forgot to add the american was the first sniper on present day nigerian soil

russellino:
I know not too many ppl know that an african-american mercenary was hired to take part in the kiriji (though I can't recall which side imported him) he was a veteran of the american civil war and was brought in to operate the then new Gatlin gun that the ppl didn't know how to operate. I heard he took a yoruba woman back as his wife. Can any scholars in d house shed more light on this? I heard this story from one old baba

Very true bro. The man in question fought on the side of the Ekiti-Parapos against the ibadans. Point of correction though, he wasnt hired to fight, he actually volunteered to fight under my great great grand uncle, Ogendengbe Gbogungboro. Also his weapon of choice wasnt the ''Gatlin Gun'' but a Schneider Rifle which outranged the muskets of the ibadan people. He was able to pick ibadan commanders of their horses and became something of a legend. He was a mullato by the way. I have to ask my dad for his name

For real? Good management style. If he doesn't catch the baga he should have the dignity to resign

Some hate each other but the majority dont

GEJ so far is the worst president so far. He is also the most dangerous because his coming has divided nigerians along sectional lines not seen since the civil war.

@ PDude - the guy who escaped was the guy who organised the madalla massacre. This guy is different.

Goodluck has to be careful because he's surrounded himself with wolves

Now its getting clearer. I read that certain "powerful" persons were seriously calling for his release before the investigations could even start. I just thank God that he was in army custody and not police. If so he would have escaped by now.

This my sister has a good head on her shoulders.
