I am Igbo but I am fond of my three Efik/Ibibio friends for years now.. All girls.
Two is Ibibio, One is Efik.
Sometimes we enter into "friendly war of soup" in the hostel.
They combine and cook Afang soup. I Counter them with Oha Soup.
Hahahahahaha. Love them.

I like the sound of it.
They attack you with Afang soup, you counter with Oha soup. Me sef go throw Egusi soup into the mix. Mehn, this is the kind of war I'd absolutely love to be involved in.

I'm Igbo and I love my people dearly. Also got love for our Efik/Ibibo/Anang cousins. Never heard any form of rabble rousing from their end.

You always have something to say whenever it concerns Igbos. Are you being paid to denigrate the Igbos? Haba! Guy you go soon die ooo if you continue like this. No be swear.

Its funny how everybody possesses at least a Masters Degree on Igbo Affairs.

Everyone seems to have an opinion when it concerns Igbos no matter how 'off-point' the opinion might be.

But we'll always thrive regardless.

See ram checking out the news highlights. Even rams want to participate in politics.

Hope it voted during the last elections.

Ajaoogbo:
This is a corporate Nigeria and where ever anyone sees oneself is one's home. Where do you want these guys to go? Some of them sacrificed their homelands to be used as oil wells that were used to develop Lagos.

This abominable act should be condemned in it's entirety and not to be giving excuses on what the victims have not done.

This maltreatment has further lend credence to the continued agitation for the sovereign state of Biafra and it's being documented.

Where do I want them to go? East ofcourse. Oppotunities abound here. I know cause am on ground.

Would you rather they stay there and keep incurring unnecessary losses? Not counting the insults. The other day some people protested with placards asking them to go home. You read the story. Some lost as much as N20 million. Others more. U think its easy to recover from such devastating losses? Some must have lost their entire life savings, maliciously rendered paupers overnight.

It would not be this bad if they were in the east. For every market domolished here, an adequate alternative was provided. You heard they provided 600 shops for over five thousand traders. Assuming 600 people take up the shops provided, what happens to the remaining 4400?

Onye ajuru aju anaghi aju onwe ya.

You are waiting for them to come out and tell u that u are not wanted before u go?

The people that coined the words, "Actions speak louder than words" weren't entirely foolish.

You are the man.

Keep up the good work, bro. More grease.

Hehe, Evag. Elliot Ukoh I hail u. Spit the fire and let it burn the nay sayers. One Respect.

Really was disappointed with Sagay's comments. Brilliant luminary. Read his books. Held him in high esteem (still do), but I guess some people are not perfect after all. Respect.

This thread does not deserve a dignified response.

Mods oya! To the jokes section.

God bless the Igbos

Udmaster:
it is a yoruba man that started this thread.

That's what am saying. Maybe he created this thread in response to the news that made frontpage today about 3 Igbo men appointed in the govt of a state in America.

I hope this topic is not becos of the 3 Igbo men appointed officials in America recently.

I will tell you right now: this topic is childish. Igbo is Igbo. Yoruba is Yoruba. We don't have much in common. So no need for the competition. There's no trophy to be won here.

We Igbos celebrate ourselves. Some call it chest beating (whatever suits them). Our western neighbours should do same - if they like. No need for this.

Would have loved it if the Tiv man explained to us how the 3Rs were actually implemented. Is it the reconstruction and rehabilitation (ofcourse there was no reconciliation) that was enforced every other place except the devastated East where the war was actually fought?

Maybe he was refering to another '3Rs'.

Outstanding. Impressive.

Igbos shining since forever.

God's favour will always be with His people.

Good one.

The ground is being prepared for the East to move into her rightful place.

Haters can't stop this. They no reach.

Good job, op. I hope they listen.

Our brothers may be wasting their time there. Their investments are demolished. They start again from the scratch. As they are about to start reaping the fruits of their labour, the investments are demolished again under a different guise. The cycle continues. This is not counting the outrageous taxes, levies and dues they are made to pay during the time the businesses last before another demolition.

My friend's cousin had to relocate after two great losses. His now in Anambra. And he's doing well.

Would love to see the movie.

Keep up the good work brother.

I feel nothing but pity for those that lost everything in the demolition.

Come back home brothers. Re-establish yourself in the east. Whatever u lost u shall regain.

Good one. Congrats.

Yet to see the usefulness of this scheme.

And don't tell me about 'unity'. Ofcourse anyone can see how 'united' we are.

People always bring up this 'tribalism' issue whenever Igbos talk about investing at home.

So investing in one's region to improve the place economically and infrastructurally as well as to provide employment is being tribalistic?

Last I checked, I wasn't able to find non-easterners who invested heavily in Igboland the way Igbos have done everywhere.

Reno make sense o.

Though I want to believe the statue is just a symbol like the one in Brazil.

Left to me though, I would discourage the construction of any statue as there's a thing line between simlpe aesthetic appreciation and idolatry, especially if the piece of art in question has to do with the supposed images of the originators of world religions like Budha, Zoroaster, Jesus etc.

I would've used to resources invested in this project to better the lot of the poor, the orphans, the widows etc. That is more rewarding.

Good one bro. May u continue to shine.

astrodome:
As a veritable Igbo man, I am not ashamed to be labelled a tribalist if my tribalism is about advocating for Igbos to invest first in Igboland before doing so elsewhere outside Igboland. There are only few Yoruba and virtually no Hausa-owned companies in igboland. Why should Igbos invest masively in those places?

Kudos to all Igbos who invest their wealth more in Igboland than outside Igboland. That is the way to self-develop your region. I really give no damn about anything non-Igbo in Nigeria. I nether hate nor love them. I am indifferent to them. Call me a tribalist, who cares?

I concur with this.

They complain of high taxes and ridiculous levies yet they won't invest at least a portion of the businesses at home. Everyday they are taunted and told to go home yet they won't think. That's why I love Innoson. God bless that man.

If we all run away, what happens to the east? Who invests here? What will stimulate our economy down here? You create jobs in other areas forgeting ur home, with our teeming unemployed youths. Govt can't do it all.

Those saying that the east isn't viable forget that where there's a will there's always a way. If we put our minds to it, we can build the east to economic greatness.

Blured:
alright if you say so. I have done my bit by giving you some enlightenment. Maybe when you start hearing unsual voices, you will understand better. Happy Sunday!

You're funny. It was nice talking (abi typing?) with u.

U have a great day.

Blured:
Nobody hears or see any God. Anybody who claims to do such, is showing an early sign of serious bipolar psychosis disorder known as schizophrenia and can lead to a full blown mania if not treated in time.

It a situation where you hear voices that that are not really there and you feel it's from God. It is accompanied with the delution of having the ability to do impossible things like casting out demons and healing the sick. Majority of those who sufferes from the disorder see themselves as god. It is cause by stress aggravated from activities like praying for long hours and not feeding well.

Over 3% of the total population in the US are suffering from it and believe me millions of nigerians are also suffering from it without knowing because they fill themselves with the thoughts that the voices is coming from God.

If you see anyone claiming he can hear God's voice,please save a human life by advising him to see a psychiatrist so that it doesn't turn worse.

Wrong.

This experiences are different from what u call 'hallucinations' or 'psychosis'. They are spiritual and can't be percieved by the physical senses.

I can't explain these things to u even if I wanted to. Even if I tried to, there's not way I could convince you. They are better experienced.

But make no mistakes: Folks do hear God.

From your comment its like u don't believe in God.

If thats the case, then we shouldn't be having this conversation. It will lead us nowhere.

That the prof doesn't seem to like religion doesn't mean that religion is altogether bad, at least speaking for Christianity. Its the misinterpretation of the doctrines of religion that make it seem bad.

And yes, people can and do hear God.

Op, it's now 'Igbo'? Okay.

Remember to use this same 'Igbo' when its good news and don't tell us its 'Nigerian'.

I hope ur day will proceed smoothly now that you've let this off ur chest.

Not the best of sights.

This ex beauty queen should show a good example to younger girls growing up.
