You are 100% correct....Ebonyi has by far the least dialect in Igbo states ....am from Ebonyi...u can see two LGAs in Ebonyi speaking same dialect eg is Ohaozara and Onicha LGA
Nxt is Afikpo-Edda-Amasiri-Uwanna-Apkoha-Enohia who speak an hear same "jokwa' dialects

Down to Ezza-izzi-ikwo who hear and speak same dialect


unlike in Enugu where same LGA like 'Udi' speak diferent dialect e.g Ngwo,UDI town, abor, egede, okpatu,eke all have different dialects

As for Anambra they have lost their dialects to central Igbo probably bc they have more trade involvement which involves using central igbo

I think Ivo and ohazara speak the same/similar dialect

I have met honest people in Nigeria too, with even a more convincing test.

I was in computer village, ikeja Lagos state to fix my phone's screen that broke. It was on a Thursday and all shops were meant to be closed due to lockdown restrictions.
Just like you know, some of them will surely still be by the roadside to hustle for customers. I was there explaining to the technician that want to fix my phone, when a car pulled over and the driver stretched out his hand and handed over his phone, (an iPhone for that matter) to the same guy to help add screen protector and a silicone case.
He paid right there and told the guy he is in a hurry to pick up someone at the airport that he would collect it when he his returning. He dropped his contact card and didn't even bother to collect the guys contact before he drove off.

Everyone was surprised including the guy, because he has never met the man before and there was no traceable location because everywhere was locked.

I think it's better you thank your star that you met a good Zimbabwean.
Just like I use to pray to always encounter good Nigerians

Bad people are everywhere likewise good people.

MODIFIED:
To those asking me if the guy ever returned his phone.
When the guy was done, he called the man and he left us in his shop to wait for him by the road side.
I would not have narrated the story if I didn't know how it ended.

I am sure at one point in time we have all met at least one good and honest Nigerian.

Reading through people's comments and some of my mentions makes it look like I am the only Nigerian on this forum. Ask yourself what would you have done if you were the Zimbabwean, it is that simple. If you are not sure, then na your body the mess dey smell.

I can boldly say this, If I were the the Zimbabwean in the OP's story I would not have done it differently.

I love your post

BeLookingIDIOT:
Good
Let some people become more aware on how 3 million of their brothers were used for suya. They'll have second thoughts of trying nonsense again.

Young man you only have one life. Be informed that the person who is more likely to betray you is from your tribe
( that is someone very close to you)

Sure smart Pastors have began mobilizing to lecture members how to operate bitcoin wallet. for all financial collections.

I don't understand

uchman:
What if you guys are 5, wearing different colours of cloth?

You will definitely see the mixture of the colours

One thing is sure, the church always wins.

Well would choose to disagree with the chameleon assertion. From personal experience, I've seen chameleon change to my cloth o. Amazingly you could see the color and the lines on its body

Kobojunkie:
Remember the church of God does not refer fo individuals who claim to be saved. The Church refers to all followers of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ did not tell us about the gift but He did provide examples of it's use. From God's specifications for His Prophets in His Old Covenant, it is safe to assume that in the New Covenant, it is also not for personal gratification, nor is it for the providing of individual oracles, nor fortune-telling(what many people now erroneously call prophecy).

In all the examples from Jesus Christ of the use of the gift, even in His use of it on telling the Samarian woman about her life, it was to the glory of His Church. In that particular case, by telling the Samarithan woman about her past, Jesus Christ message not only reached the woman but many in her town through her testimony of What He had told her of herself(note no fortune telling took place there).

You can't rule out the fact that prophecy is not just for the edification of an individual but for the body of Chrit even though some people today abuse it.

snowball11:
And someone on this forum said this one get sense!

I wonder o. So terrible

playapayaski:
Exactly

You Mean God should not hold you accountable for anything? That particular god must be a wicked god

Kobojunkie:
It says there that the prophet might try introduce you to another god. Of course that is an issue too, but so is the first act of the prophet.

According to God's design in Deuteronomy 18, His prophets were mediators between Himself and His people, and acted on behalf of the Nation of Israel, not individuals.

Let me ask you. Why did God give the gift of prophecy and other spiritual gifts? Is it for your personal edification or for the church?

Kobojunkie:
Ezekiel 33 does not apply to you or anyone who is not a descendant of Jacob. Ezekiel's message was rightly to the nation of Israel, not to individuals. Only false prophets in the old covenant gave private oracles, fortune telling, dream interpretation and the lot. The punishment for such persons was death as decreed by God. Deuteronomy 13.

Those who are followers of Jesus Christ listen to the lead of the Spirit of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

If you read Acts 23, compare the actions of the prophets there to what God said in Deuteronomy 13 vs 1-6, to see what could have been if those prophets had been under the old covenant.

In that case why then are you a Christian if actually you're one? Remember Jesus came for the Jews

Danwakae:
God no tell am anything... Yeye people

Hey! Don't give what you cannot take. The insult was not necessary

juman:
What the igbo controlled jonathans government could not do. They could not make their ports operational.
They should be thanking the present government.

We need more than ten sea ports in nigeria.

People like you are the reason why Nigeria is where it is today. Your brains are always like: Igbo VS Yoruba. Tribalism is bad. No nation can grow with it but it's ironic how everybody wants a developed country yet no one actually wants it.

winterfell007:
Please don't take him seriously. He doesn't speak for us. He's one of those demented apostles of that fraudster, Nnamdi Kanu. Igbos generally welcome even development in all region so long as everyone is carried along and no one is feeling marginalized

I don't know why you people always see things with the beam of bigotry. It is good to be open minded. What that guy said is not far from the truth. The onne port will definitely impact Lagos economy somehow. (please take this statement in context )

Posterity will be kind to Umahi. He has indeed joined the league of the Okparas, the Mbakwes et al

Johnjanrt:
Record 21 penalties is way too much now. Is high time this is probed to curtail this least I fear it will be worst come next season. For certainly United ain't the most feared attacking side in Europe.

Rubbish. You guys can't just put a stop already. I guess United is so influential that even in Europe they still sway the officials. Nonsense

Arda1000:
nwane I have to clear the air, Ebonyi is not one but Igbo is one.

Hmmm..... What's the difference?

Arda1000:
give me the person number or FB username,as an Ebonyi from the Southern part I will like to oblige my curiosity about the Afikpo Muslim,not that am in darkness about to e matter but the reality is totally different from what I see in the news,so I will like to get to know the person or persons so to say,apart from religious sentiment,an Isu person is a brother to an Afikpo person.... So Afonja oblige me

I don't like it when people sound this way. Ebonyi people are one. By the way I'm from Onicha.

Nigerian politicians are very wicked yet you see people rolling around them everywhere.

IamWonderful:
Shun bitterness and depression it kills faster than snipper, Sowore might not even vote in 2015, he sold Buhari to people when he noticed Jonathan was ineffectual buffon and he is going against Buhari when he noticed he is senile vegetative doppelganger figurehead.

Keep deceiving yourself. The only crime Jonathan committed was that he appointed more Igbo people in key sectors than he did the Yorubas as well as taking the northern tenor. Also not being an opposition to some power hungry cabals.

helinues:
These people are just like masquerade wey dey pursue a mad man.

Exercise in futility

Abi, the guy is not corrupt at all they are just chasing shadows

Virginnn:
hian
And they just pushed this post to front page hurriedly.
This must be a paid advertisement.
My own advice is that we should not consider doctrines but read our Bible to ascertain if the doctrines of our denomination is in tandem with biblical principles.
True worshippers according to Jesus worship God in spirit and in truth. The spirit here means cultivating the fruitage of the spirit as outlined in Galatians 5:21 -23. The truth here has to do with abiding by the word of God as stated in the Bible.
Christianity is supposed to be a very simple religion. But people tend to complicate it with spurious doctrines as if each one trying to give their denomination a brand.
If I attend church A and you attend church B. There must be differences in doctrines, yet we all claim to be reading the same Bible. Is our God a God of division? Just like some worshippers in the first century were alligning with Paul and some with Appolos. Paul promptly rebuked them. Our God is one God.

U no sabi ball ni...Shey Chelsea sign players for two windows?

Oga they signed Pullisic just that they were lucky the deal was done before the ban. So he had to finish the season with Dortmund before joining up with Chelsea for the pre season.

It is obvious we are in the last days but nobody knows the time nor the hour

People keep saying that Chelsea did not sign any player last summer whereas this is Pullisic's first season with them. I wonder the excuses they will give next season

which weed u smoke this morning

By the context of this thread the guy has a point.

Sammy07:
Enugu for me, very local.

IMO is just about partying and clubbing

I guess you want to banter.

They are many of them like Oshogbo, Lokoja, Calabar, Adoekiti but I choose Umuahia

[quote author=Sammy07 post=92366959][/quote]Okay. Well they may not have the majority of the media establishments but they definitely have a a strong influence on them.

anungangampu:
One single act of bravery from this man should have given his predecessor the boldness to become Giants but Ojukwu bravery made igbos who they are today..If after pogrom we chickened out and took the Awolowo way, we would still be bitter about our loss in the war. Only Yoroubas talk about igbos loosing 3m in the war cos that was the last feat of their hero Awolowo but that was Our triumph..igbo land beat many likes Nigerian states that never witness the war . Their people boldness can be seen in both business in academics..

Psychologically igbos won the war..

This is not necessary
