Mbieri is in owerri zone. So, this is a fallacious assertion.
Thank you

We went home to Arondizuogu, Imo State for our annual Ikeji cultural festival that started on 17 April, 2015 and lasted for 8 days.
Below are some pictures pictures of the occassion that i took. First, an introduction on ikeji

Ikeji cultural festival of Arondizuogu in Imo State is a popular festival that brings the Igbo speaking community around the world together. Its origin dates back to over five centuries and it is acclaimed as the biggest pan-Igbo cultural community festival with strong heritage, international recognition and is witnessed by thousands of people on a yearly basis. It is arguably the biggest cultural festival in Igboland. In contemporary times, each passing year has witnessed an increase in grandeur, display, dance, sophistication and an all inclusive participation of all Arondizuogu people and friends. The festival is marked with colourful display of different masquerades such as Ogionu, Mgbadike, Nwaaburuja and Ozoebune; prestigiously parading across the market square to the admiration of the public. The essence of the festival, which ranks among the best surviving traditional ceremonies of the Arondizuogu people, is to celebrate the harvest of the first yams. It serves to unify and foster ties among Aro people who are spread across the entire Igbo speaking states and part of Cross River state. It appeals to the entire Igbo speaking peoples both at home and in the Diaspora.

Ikeji is a four-day festival of propitiation, thanksgiving and feasting which is held annually in March or April. Reckoned with the Igbo calendar, these four days correspond to one Igbo week of four market days (Eke, Oye/Orie, Afo and Nkwo). Each of these days has a special significance and represents one of the several dimensions of Ikeji – a festival renowned for sumptuous feasting, fascinating masquerades, pulsating rhythms, and colourful performances. Traditional musical instruments used to accompany the masquerades are ekwe (wooden slit drum) of various sizes, ogene (metal gong), bells, maracas and oja (wooden flutes). The flutist is a very important element in the ikeji festival. He deftly communicates with the masquerades - weaving soulful melodies and blending esoteric messages into the intoxicating rhythm of the drums. Another interesting aspect of ikeji is the raconteur known as ima mbem - an imaginative tale delivered with a musical cadence that only the initiated can sometimes understand or comprehend. The importance of the flutist during Ikeji festival is very vital, for he communicates things hidden from the ordinary eyes to the masquerades, combined with soulful melodies, steps and gestures, “blending esoteric messages into the intoxicating rhythm of the drums” to the admiration of the crowd.

During Ikeji festival,ON THE LAST DAY, a ram is usually tied to a pole at a popular market square with a single thread.Somebody with the strongest protection from any juju of whatever type is expected to leisurely walk to the ram amids heavy attempt with juju from other people to knock him down, maim him or kill him.Only the brave can participate in, while the NOT SO BRAVE will either abstain from or remain with the crowd as spectators. Only the brave can stand forward from the crowd, one after another and approach the tree with a view to untying the ram. However, each contender will be attacked by forces which are beyond the scope of this article to explain, with a view to stopping him reaching the ram. If overwhelmed, he will beat a retreat back to his starting point. Until eventually, the bravest among the masquerades participating in the competition for that year’s festival, after overcoming all odds, will reach the ram and untie it and take it, to a thunderous applause by the spectators. This will be followed by visits to his house by fellow kinsmen with food and wine for elevating the status of his village. Each year this is used to commemorate the person in Arondizuogu and neighbouring towns with the strongest juju or voodoo power.

Op, don't get your hopes high. With government, it is the day you physically receive the money that you should rejoice.
The part I don't understand is where you said "kabiru has been arrested with money"

Ochiske:
This Ohanaeze of a group be acting up too much!
With all due respect to my Igbo brothers and Sisters, (I've got lots of Igbo friends so no human should quote me and talk shiiit ).

This Igbo group and their demands are too much
Always making noise everyday
Did they support Buhari in becoming president? NO! Yet they feel they should bw in charge of everything

All they keep on seeking is for their 'son(s) or daughter(s) to be in power forgetting that these same persons wont bring development to them one bit!!!!
A case scenerio is Abia state! They wont compel Orji to develop Abia but they'll seek recognition under a govt they NEVER supported!!!!!!!!

When their so called 'Azikiwe' brother was in charge, didnt he marginalize other tribes

What did he do for the Southwest? Nothing!
The Northeast was under attack by Boko Haram yet they never threatened to secede!

Nigeria's economy is failing! Things are running on the low yet what these Mofo's know is political positions and crap
Isnt it an Igbo woman that is our finance Minister? What good are we enjoying?

For 6years, my state, Cross River didnt receive any benefit from the Jonathan led Fg! All our federal roads are nothing to write home about! Not even a single Fg project in CRS! Even the Calabar port was abandoned Yet we didnt threaten to secede out of Nigeria!

These Igbo's should please and please again SHUT UP!
Where them wan secede go? where will their international border be? Do they want to become a sovereign state inside another sovereign state?

Last I checked, the Igbo states are surrounded by The Ijaws, Ibibio's, Efiks and others! Abi them want follow force us inside them?

Let them come and carve themselves out of Nigeria na let us see shebi na independence them want
They cant even develop their main Igbo land (Abia State) they desire to create a country, develop and maintain it!

babadee1:
It depends on which part of Lagos he started trekking from. The man said he began his journey from Berger junction, that is more or less the border area of Lagos which is very close to Ibadan actually. He didn't start from the interior of Lagos and he definitely could have trekked from Berger to Ibadan in 13 hours.

Did I hear u say beger junction is very close to Ibadan? Are u drunk?

OrlandoOwoh:
How does he charge his phone?
