Oga, stop saying what you don't know. I am more Anambra than you----for your information. That is if you are even an Anambrarian. Because no properly trained Anambrarian will dish out insult spontaneously as you just did by calling me "Mr hater"
So, many barrels of crude oil does Anambra produce a day?
Orient and the Chicason you quoted are private retailers and not exploration has plants. The fire incident you referred to was even a COOKING GAS station and I was in Nnewi when it happened. Nnewi is not even among the locations where oil was discovered in Anambra state.
You can even help yourself with Google to find out oil producing states and States where oil has been discovered but not producing yet.[/s]
Four of the major coastal tribes of Western Africa: the Yoruba, Igbo, Akan and the Gaa-Adangbe are dissimilar at a glance and evidently geographic neighbours, but very closely related, if examined in detail at the genetic level.
Several studies have been employed over the years, with findings bringing up linkages of genetic similarity between differing regional ethnic groups. One in particular, conducted by Adebowale Adeyemo, Guanjie Chen, Yuanxiu Chen, the National Human Genome Centre and Howard University, and Charles Rotimi of the University of Ibadan provided results indicating the genetic similarities between the four major West African ethnic groups.
Their findings further indicated surprising genetic variance within groups, but almost none across groups, similar to the closeness of human genetics across races, showing more range within than without.
According to this landmark study there was 99.9 percent within-population variance, the between-population variance was less than 0.1 percent. This means that Yorubas, Igbos, Gaa and Akan are 99.9 percent similar, while within each of the groups there are variations/differences between individuals as high as 99 percent i.e. One Igbo may be 99 percent genetically different from another Igbo, or one Yoruba person to another.
It is important to remember that these groups were not initially split by national borders; prior to the European division of the continent, these ethnic peoples traded, migrated and wedded as the times permitted, allowing apparent regional and national mixtures that remain evident in modern day genetic analyses of some Yoruba and Igbo individuals.
Race and ethnicity are considered to be related concepts. Ethnicity is often assumed to be somewhat more of a cultural identity of a group, often based on shared ancestry, language and cultural tradition, while race is assumed to be strictly a biological classification, based on genetic materials and bone structure. Ethnicity is often used synonymously with ambiguous terms such as nation or people, depending on which source of group identity is emphasized to define membership, the following types of (often mutually overlapping) groups are:
Ethno-linguistic, emphasizing shared language, dialect or script — example: Hausa. Ethno-national, emphasizing a shared polity or sense of national identity — example: Nigerian. Ethno-racial, emphasizing shared physical appearance based on genetic origins — example: African-American. Ethno-regional, emphasizing a distinct local sense of belonging stemming from relative geographic isolation — example: South Islanders. Ethno-religious, emphasizing shared affiliation with a particular religion, denomination or sect — example: Christians.
Also worthy of note is the shared Volta-Niger root languages, Yoruba and Igbo languages belong to the same family (YEAI branch), showing the common start of the diverse languages spoken by these ethnicities.
Consequently, barring the inclusion of culture, tribal affiliation and nationality, it could be said that the the Yorubas, the Igbos, the Akans and the Gaa-Adangbes are but a people spread over a wide area with different ways of life. Thus discrediting any claim of a unique Yoruba “race” or a genetically insured Igbo ethnicity often employed by politicians and traditional rulers in rhetorics and propaganda messages.
The reality, however, is the hampered economic strength of a not truly united front, with success delayed continually by the lack of pan-African sentiments on the part of the leadership, and poor economic decisions taken in an imperialist system.This is not to revile the revered skin deep differences in each group’s cultural development, but serves to indicate and rejoice in the underlying sameness of what appears ‘not’ to be.
A body does not fight itself. These kinds of research serve as a balm to the much divided heart of the ethnically-concerned West African, and to the African at large: one root, many branches; united by blood if not spirit.
God forbid. Yoruba are so desperate to claim some type of connection with Igbo...that's why they go as far as trying to marry Igbo women. There is zero resemblance between Igbos and Yorubas...zero. I can differentiate between Igbos and Yorubas by appearance but cannot differentiate Igbos from Ibibios, Efik, Ijaw by appearance...as we all share bloodline. Yorubass...get this: Igbos have zero interest in having any connection you people **** Goodness me...this people will go any length. SMH
wirinet: My brother, this your story get as e be. Even ordinary nurse would not live in a face me i face you apartment in the US, not to talk of a qualified medical doctor. My friends who are not even medical doctors but support medical personnel live like kings in the US. Medical personnels are the highest paid workers in the US.
Not about income or money, I'm talking about simplicity. Typically when you are simple, there's no need stealing 900 billion. Did Jonathan steal? Of course. My point is he didn't steal like IBB, Abachas because he is a simple person and no need for such amount of money...evident also in his children.
Typical yoruba....doesn't know the difference between Akwa Ibom and the true Awka city....spells it as Akwa. Doesn't know the difference between pics of Awka and Onitsha because he is high on Ogbomosho red weed and typing this from the basement of his great great grandfather house built in Ibadan...Ibadan high rise were all built in 1970s...from stolen Biafffrans money, that's why nothing new has been built since recently....no more Biaafran money to steal. Who in his right mind puts Akure over Awka? What's Minna doing there...why not Asaba? Goodness me.
Afrobeau: [s] Hello my beautiful people, I was just wondering about this. My boyfriend is from Delta state and speaks Igbo and also has an Igbo last name. But my question is, why is it that some Delta-Igbos try to say that they are not Igbos? Why do they hate being associated with their Igbo ancestry? Don't tell me that Igbos don't like Delta-Igbos because that shouldn't be an issue, once you are Igbo, you are Igbo and have every right to claim your Igboness lol... And by the way, I don't know any Igbos that hate Delta Igbos, it's always Delta-igbos trying to make it clear that they are not Igbo Just like Mr. Sunday Olise. I understand that there are other tribes in Delta State that are not Igbo but since Nigerian cultural system is a patriarchy, there is virtually no way that you can get an Igbo surname unless your forefathers were Igbos and since Delta state has always been in the South Eastern part of Nigeria, it is very possible that the Igbos were settled there even before the so-claimed migration from the Benin-empire? I love Delta Igbos but I don't know why they dissociate themselves from their tribe. Some of them say their Igbo language is different but what they are actually referring to is their dialect, if a man from Awka in Anambra state speaks his native awka dialect a man from Eziagu in Enugu state may not understand it but they are both Igbos. I don't fully understand all of my boyfriend's dialect when he speaks in his Agbor dialect but I can piece the words together and make out the sentence... It's Igbo based. I don't have this issue with my boyfriend though, I was just researching on his origin and culture of his people and came across many delta-igbos claiming they are not Igbo. If your surname is Igbo but you don't think you're Igbo enough Why is that? [/s]
I believe this news. The day I found out that his daughter and his in law...a doctor, live in a face-me-I-face-you apartment in America with cheap furnishings that looks like a typical boys quarter or even gateman post. The fact he was comfortable and happy in it, tells me the kind of man he is. If these were the children and in-laws of IBBs, Abachas, Abdulsalami's they would be living in a mansion with gold furnishings everywhere
Useless county...liars. Kachukwu met with rented crowds posing as NDA to deceive zombies. How can a rational human being think that NDA will apear in public, let alone to foolishly meet with a government official in public? SMH...
Olorunjuwon: [s]Biafra......they can bark and no bite, make empty threats, infact I thought Nigeria will down when FG nail Thier son...awon omo ale jati jati. u want catch buhari, enikan kii mafefe, tabala o moni, ola lamu... iyalaya yin.[/s]
genali: when we say the igbo's are illiterate people call us names please for god sake what are they trying to achieve let them learn from Scotland vs England or Catalonia vs Spain. let them know how referendums are carried out, disgracing a minister will only make you looks fools like your forefathers
irunooboo: Innoson vehicles are only good for packing shiit and waste? No wonder the eastern governor's overlook the piece of crap for Hyundai cars funny biafrans
bloodyBLOGGER: [s]you mean a fat corrupt frog will make the Yorubas unhappy even after their daughter currently occupies her post? [/s]
Yorubba and envy...always dic$k measuring with Igbos as Igbos are your mate...SMH. It's like Ukraine(yoruba) dragging feet with Germany(Igbo). Even if yorubas are given 1 million yrs, they will never be able to produce a superstar human specimen as Dr. Okonjo Iweala.
ur a fool and a hypocrite, one man begging or using his brain for his life whats the big deal. Na only one Jesus wey go offer himself as sacrifice. live to die another day. the man was thinking about torture and disgrace
babanginda killed his best man[/s]
YORUBBA REASONING...I'M NOT SURPRISED. NO HONOR OR SHAME!
irunooboo: [s]One would think by now the igbos ought to have learnt from the patriotism of Zik and Ironsi which made them political giants in their prime. Ojukwu made a terrible mistake by declaring biafra in 1967 and the result of that wrong move made igbos political dwarfs in the Nigerian state till today. Biafra is not and never will be the solution to the poverty and under development in the south east. You should rather hold your leaders responsible for your predicament. If the igbos denounce biafra, every Nigerian will see them as Patriots and then we will gladly vote an igbo president. Forget Nnamdi kanu's lies and propaganda about the yoruba's and hausa fulanis been your enemies. We love igbos but hate the word biafra. We must work together to make Nigeria great. The future of the igbos lie within nigeria and even ojukwu admonished igbos to forget biafra and become patriotic. The SS should take note that they are no way brothers with the easterners. Your resources is the reason most IPOB members call the SS brothers. If there was no oil the igbos will never include the SS in biafra. The SS people must be aware that the igbos plan to dominate them and usd their resources to build the underdeveloped igbo land. SS must shun secession and embrace one Nigeria so their future can blossom with out further problems. To keep nigeria one is a task that must be done. Our Constitution clearly says secession is treasonable. Say no to biafra today. God bless Nigeria.[/s]
Videos below will tell if yorubaas are cowards or not. The only two generals that have ever knelt down, cried and begged for their lives in the history of the world were yorubaas.
Aufbauh: Typical sensational and sentimental mentality. Anyone with the truth is tag as an enemy. FYI, am neither a hausa-fulani or a Yoruba man and can not claim to be. I am a proud Idoma man from Ogbadibo LG of Benue state.
Lol...you are now Idoma all of sudden? This yoruba eh! I heard one the other day say he is Nupe...I laugh sote I no fit talk again! Absolutely shameless
hungryboy: I'm no fan of Ipob, But I do not trust the DSS either,
This guys could go as far as killing innocent people, and pinning the crime on Ipob as an excuse to destroy the organisation and jail it members, People in the South East should be very vigilant, There is a silent war going on, For all it investigative 'prowess', why hasn't the Dss succeeded in arresting any of the Fulani herdsmen responsible for the massacre in Agatu?
Well said. They are desperately looking for something to nail Nnamdi Kanu by April 26...verdict day!
wolfslair: Good one ipob keep up the good work i just ve to register to be a member keep one eye open for there protectors and do same But why only five now how many dey the town
Lol...we have Idomas joining in droves, and attending training on self defense!
uduak2016: You raised a great point. One Idoma guy from Olegamakwu at the meeting said something similar to your post that they also have Idoma muslims in Idomaland, they tend to align more with Hausa-Fulani, and some even leak out information. You see the same trend in yoruba, Igala, Auchi in Edo.
Olegamakwu village in Idoma? Pls Igbos in the forum....doesn't Olegamakwu sound like Igbo? Nnamdi Kanu may have point.
I'm beginning to suspect Igbos are indeed hebrews; not native to Africa but traveled from the jewish land to Africa as supported by many historians. How do you explain that out of nearly 5000 black tribes in Africa, Caribbean, South America, Central America... they are the most brilliant black race? How do you explain this? There is a reason why the world is afraid to let them have their country....they know something about the Igbos!
IGBOS...KNOW WHO YOU ARE! THERE IS A UNIQUE BLOOD IN YOU!
