cromz:
idiot those ports don't lead to the Atlantic ocean so no importation from European countries

Where do they lead to,pray tell?

mcvaeey:
Edo state.

Indeed,hometown "Oriohimwon" that does not exist.Oloribuku,alainikanse,aisanfani eda.
Try again

mcvaeey:
that's why we are advocating for true federalism and 100% resource control or our own Niger Delta republic not biafra. I love Nigeria and I want Nigeria to grow. I'm from Edo State and my hometown Oriohimwon is an oil producing community and I want to use my oil to develop my region and not another man's region. The oil in my land belongs to my people and not the north. Every state should develop at its own pace.

Idiot.
You just busted yourself.Orhionmwon is not a town,but the name of a local govt in Edo headquartered in Abudu.You guys should really try to read up and acquaint yourselves with places you claim before making shows of yourselves online.You're not even able to write the name correctly.
We "SS" people,indeed

This idiot lumped everyone from the south,that is not yoruba,as being of Igbo stock.Just that part should tell anyone he's an airhead,like so many others

UCH was established by an Act of Parliament in November 1951,passed Nigerian HOR Ordinance of August 1952.It is not and never was a Western Region establishment.Take that out of your list and carry on with your daydream

gabito4luv:
Ika. so please do well to enlighten me.

Guy,don't lie here.You are Edo,not Ika.Be proud of your heritage and from there register your misgivings or no about Biafra.
You guys should stop this nonsense of speaking on behalf of people who don't know nor sent you on any such mission

omenka:
Mtcheeew. Why don't you fools claim Zamfara already?

It's painful being caught out,isn't it?.
Next time,have a care where you claim or the sort of comments you drop.They keep pointing you out as the airhead you are.

omenka:
You are a VERY MIGHTY fool and a reprehensible liar, a very dangerous one! What part of Obi and Ogbadibo were Igbos "carved" into?? That is how you people come on here to spread lies and deceive ignorant fellas who've not had the chance to travel out of their enclaves.

There are no indegenous Igbos ANYWHERE in Benue.

Modified:

On a second thought, you just might be one ignorant local slimeball gathering excrement released by fellow zealots like yourself. I bet you've heard somewhere there are indigenous igbos in Obi and Ogbadibo and you ran away with the lies, spreading it to hapless ignoramuses like yourself. Nonsense.

How can you even have Igbos "carved" into Obi when it is bordered to the by Ado and Oju??

You are a very big fool indeed.

Ah,you really are the gift that keep giving,aren't you mucker?.Scratch Ogbadibo,it's Obi and Ado.You claimed Benue,yet don't know about the configuration of the state.Ignorant son of a blind bat.
Modified:
Thanks @onenaira,it's really good to lesson these futrets once they start claiming what they know not.
http://sunnewsonline.com/new/weve-abandoned-igbos-benue-cry/
There are no indigenous Igbos anywhere in Benue indeed

atbu1983:
Dont mind them. there is no oil in Benue and Kogi. People who has similar culture with Igbo there are not Igbo as far az all this oil loving thieves igbo are concern. As far as they are concern, having alot of oil makes u igbo.

Dear Mr Idiot,kindly read,comprehend and assimilate my post and that of the character I responded to before you quote me.
Better still,don't quote me again.Kindly maintain your foolish lane.
Last I checked,you claim to be from an area with no drop of oil yet here you are crying more than the bereaved,fighting tooth and nail on behalf of the oil producers for a mission they sent you not.One then wonder what your motive then is,if not that same oil

omenka:
Which Igbo minorities in Benue Who says there are indigenous Igbos in Benue

You guys should just keep your thing to yourselves.

Idiot.
So you don't know there are Igbos carved into Benue in Obi,Ogbadibo LGs?.
Your ignorance keep stinking to high heaven

aresa:
He obviously was going after this project out the gate after inauguration. The now debunked N50 million was an after thought just to destroy the project because his first as detailed in this article was red highlight and never the N50 million nonsense excuse he came up with.

He sent a letter to the company demanding documents to be provided the same day, but he terminated the contract the next day based on what was never any kind of issue.

He also failed to tell Lagosians that the agreement was approved by him in his statement terminating the concession.

The fact is, he and or other folks are eyeing this property to give to other interested parties or their own friends.

Falomo shopping center is a huge property in Lagos state and has been around for decades so it's no surprise they are backstabbing themselves in the back to conner this property.

I honestly think Fashola saw this coming and decided not to do their bidding and gave the contract to the current holder based on his own good judgement, now Ambide is carrying their water bottle to revers Fashola's decision and rubbish him at the same time..


Ambode fall hand big time...

Ah,good morning o

When did NIS start issuing Visa?.
Isn't that the forte of the Visa sections of the various embassies?

Jesusloveyou:
those names senior my great grandfathers, except people from d palace may know those names, but we still have those names, name after streets which i don't Know their meaning, like alaka street behind oba palace, ogba road, etc, with d coming of d colonial administration who change those names to suit d present day ibos, again like eweka that is change to iweka in onitsha, as i said, all d names mentioned by d op are all familiar with bini

How old are you,please?.You sure are reasoning like a ten-year old.
Sorry,that's an insult on all ten-year olds out there,they are more intelligent.Commonsense didn't tell you that Alaka and Akalaka are two different names or that the Iweka road is actually Eze Iweka rd,that had nothing to do with Oba Eweka n is a right proper Igbo name in itself.
The Colonialists must have so loved the Igbos then,they even name a suburb of Ikeja after the Igbo Ogba too.Or was it named after the "Benin" one,you think?

Bluetooth2:
The presidency has apologized and promised to do the needful. Problemx fixed, nothing for wailers to wail about.

Nodcock.
Problem has not been fixed by a long shot.As it is,AMCON is totally incapacitated until the new executive is confirmed by the Senate.Can't you buttlickers read and think?.
Btw,which Minister of Finance recommended the appointments?.Cos that's what the law says.
And were the EDs nominated by the CBN or the politicians in the Presidency?.These are breaches of the law,which one simple acknowledgement of "oversight" can't fix

scholes0:
Your problem is analysis.

Total literacy, Yes SE women score higher, I am not disputing that (84% to 82%)
Theaw figures however, is as a result of adding values obtained from those who have never had an education & those who haven't completed primary, to those who have
check the tables, SE women outschool SW women up to Primary school level.

From your thread about what states contribute is when I gave up on you.You deliberately manipulate data/leave pertinent ones out,misinform n spread deliberate disinformation to snag the gullible,all in a bid to promote your sectional bias.
If you must open a statistical thread,post all the data without leaving anything out.We are educated enough to plow thru it all and arrive at a conclusion.
They never had education,but are literate enough to read n you left that part out.Yet this thread is about literacy level in Nigeria.
Don't bother denying this isn't about literacy,you post on the first page already nailed you.

splashbaby:
The coup was enough recipe for disaster. These events happened barely few years after independence, the entire region and political class were all jostling for dominance... The nation was already in flames and for one ethnic motivated coup to wipe out the entire northern leaders in a day will surely bring about extreme bitterness.

Ironsi actions and inaction wouldn't have stopped the moving train gliding for absolute revenge. Nothing he did would have been enough.

Ethnic motivated coup?.Did you even read what you put up there?

I thought Punch,in their initial expose,claimed a copy had been handed over to the Presidency and that prosecutions are due soon.That copy missing too?.
Buncha idiots,there's no case,no forgery.Senate rules are the affairs of the Senate.Anybody who don't like it should get two-thirds the Senate to change it.
NEXT!

How many times will it be sounded to your deaf ears that it going to be a peaceful disintegration via referendum? some people want out, is it by force to be in same country?.

Even on this thread I have said it that the issue of war will arise if the 'owners of naijeriya' wants to keep us in the cursed marriage.

How diificult is that for you to understand madam bitter demon?

Tomorrow you will make and ask same silly question, are you that dull?

Hian,why are you asking a question you already know the answer?.
It's like asking her if the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.I would have opined she's deliberately obtuse,but she'd proven severally she's that dull and more.

Just to correct something OP,the Ooni and his predecessors,were not and never were Imperial anything.Only two yoruba states built empires and are entitled to use that address,Oyo and Ibadan.Ibadan don't and has never used it,I wonder why you would now ascribe that to a mere priest.

This is what they do with your patrimony,but what some nairalanders know how to do is some stupid dick-measuring contest rather than hold their leaders to account

AUGUST 15, 2015 : OUR REPORTERS
Leave a Comment
Akwa Ibom Government lodge
More than serving as a place to entertain and
accommodate visitors of their respective state
governments, many Government Guest Houses
and Lodges have become grounds where all
sorts of activities take place, especially epic
lovemaking sessions, Saturday PUNCH’s
investigations reveal.
The trend which has gone on for several years
under different administrations usually
involves young ladies being brought into such
government facilities to ‘entertain’ guests
sexually for a fee. While top aides of such
state governors recruit such ladies directly for
their guests, the job is given out to trusted
middlemen in some places. Even though, it is
an aberration in some states as governors
frown at such practices, it is the norm across
most parts of the federation.
In Rivers State for example, a source at the
Government House in Port Harcourt told one
of our correspondents that arranging beautiful
ladies for special guests of the state is nothing
unusual. According to the source who asked
not to be named, this is part of the
entertainment given to such high profile guests
on request especially when the state is holding
any big event.
“I have been here (Government House) for
many years and I know that it is a common
thing to bring in beautiful ladies for guests
who demand for them,” the source said.
Another source, who is a former government
official, told Saturday PUNCH that, “providing
girls for special guests at government lodges is
not a new thing. It is done everywhere. Most
times, these girls are on standby and when
they are called, they come and keep the guests
(males) company. It is practised everywhere
and not only here.”
Though in Osun State, Governor Rauf
Aregbesola according to findings by one of our
correspondents, is not open to such lifestyle,
some former aides under him are known to
pass women around and even entertain their
guests with such. Osun has no government-
owned guest house, so visitors are
accommodated at some popular hotels in
Osogbo, the state capital.
A source who confided in one of our
correspondents disclosed that some former
aides of the governor always “imported babes
from tertiary institutions around and even
from far distance.”
He said, “They pay these girls as high as N50,
000 especially those coming for the first time.
Subsequently, they pay less and at times they
don’t give the ladies more than N10, 000.
These aides have some young male students
who help in recruiting these girls for their
superiors.”
The situation is a bit worse in Akwa Ibom State
where a former governor is alleged to have
wasted the state resources frolicking with
different women with many of such
‘entertainments’ taking place right inside
government-owned facilities. On several
occasions, the aides to the governor were said
to have arranged between five to 10 women to
serve the governor at the same time.
An aide who refused to disclose his identity for
security reason, told one of our
correspondents that in one of the instances,
one of the 10 ladies that were taken to him,
developed a headache. According to him, the
governor asked that the lady be taken away but
not without receiving N500, 000 as
‘appearance fee.’
Apart from the former governor, Saturday
PUNCH reliably gathered that some of his
commissioners and special advisers built
houses in remote areas for their flings in a bid
to avoid being seen in hotels. The sources also
claimed that some of the women got brand
new jeeps for their services.
The governor’s siblings are not left out of the
show, too. A source told our correspondent
that the governor’s brothers on several
occasions imported women from Egypt and
other North African countries just to have a
nice time. In addition to the government
houses and lodges, the big boys in the
administration and even visitors to the state
also used a very popular hotel in the state as
well as other hotels that spread across Uyo.
In Abia State, the recruitment of ladies
otherwise known as ‘conference materials’ for
the pleasure of top government officials is a
very sensitive issue and is usually handled by a
syndicate, a top official told one of our
correspondents.
The source who
pleaded
anonymity
revealed that
the syndicates
who handle
such matters
run it as a big
business,
maintaining a high degree of confidentiality to
avoid embarrassing government. He however
said no government lodge in Abia is used to
habour such ladies. The source further noted
that the practice was no longer in vogue in
Abia State owing to the unfavourable
dispositions of recent administrations.
According to the source, ‘conference materials’
are usually recruited from tertiary institutions,
and could also be school dropouts as well as
professionals who do ‘runs’ to survive. He said
that such ladies usually drop their contacts
with the agents who simply put them on notice
any time they are needed.
He said, “Their pay is dependent on the
category of government officials or guests they
are to entertain and the class of the ladies
themselves.
“If the benefiting government official is from
the Presidency or is a governor, the fee is
usually high but if it is an official with lesser
portfolio, the pay is lesser,” he said.
The source also said that the ‘performance’ of
the ‘conference material’ could make her get
more incentives from the end user as some of
them get cars, houses, contracts or more cash
for good displays.
“Any ‘conference material’ who impresses her
end user can be booked for future
engagements. Some of them are even moved to
USA, Europe, Dubai and some foreign countries
ahead of government officials.
“The type of money involved in the movement
of these ladies is awesome. Government
officials who are in this habit of patronising
‘conference materials’ waste so much funds on
them,” the source said.
On the remuneration of the ladies, the source
said, “The agent who recruits them disburses
their pay depending on the arrangement.
“Some of the girls are paid N10, 000, some
N20, 000, some N100, 000 and even N1m
depending on the type of government official
involved. Sometimes after assembling the girls,
if any of them is not engaged, she is given a
token like N10, 000 for transport. We call it
‘appearance fee’ or ‘thank you for coming
package.’”
The source further said protocol officers are
sometimes involved in the recruitment and
movement of the ‘conference materials’ as very
close aides of the government officials handle
such ‘ jobs’ to avoid exposing their principals.
“What we do at such times is that when we get
signals, we just allow the ladies to move on,”
he said.
He, however, noted that not all governors
condone the use of ‘conference materials’ and
that during the administrations of such
governors, the business does not thrive. The
source also revealed that First Ladies are
always ready to fall out with any protocol
officer involved in recruiting ladies for their
husbands because of the threat it poses to
their families.
In Edo State, it was gathered that government
guest houses built like private residences in
strategic but less populous areas, like the
Government Reservation Area in Benin, serve
as a regular meeting point for government
officials, their friends and a select group of
ladies on regular basis.
A reliable source disclosed that some of the
buildings have in the past 10 years served as
meeting points for the highly-placed users. The
ladies, who are mostly undergraduates of
tertiary institutions in Edo, are usually
transported from their hostels to the guest
houses. But such movements, it was gathered,
usually occurred at night to avoid attracting
attention.
The source explained that the women receive
between N10, 000 and N50, 000 or more for
their services, depending on negotiations and
the source of their connection.
“Entertaining guests with women is not new.
That is a normal thing; it’s not peculiar to this
state or the South-South. It is everywhere. The
girls, who must be very attractive, are selected
by special duty or protocol persons. They can
earn up to N50, 000 based on their looks or
connection.
“There are normal hotels and guest houses
where rich men are supplied with girls during
weekends but the major ones happen during
political campaigns. The girls come in around
7:00pm or 9:00pm and leave as early as
4:00am,” the source said.
Investigations by one of our correspondents
revealed that the large number of tertiary
institutions in Enugu State serves as a reliable
pool for protocol officers and governors’
personal assistants, whenever there is a need
to provide young girls for their principals in
the government house.
Enugu ranks as one of the states with the
largest population of young girls in the
country. It is home to several tertiary
institutions like the Enugu State University of
Technology, Institute of Management
Technology, University of Nigeria, Enugu State
College of Education, Caritas University,
Godfrey Okoye University and Renaissance
University, among others.
And, in an era where most female
undergraduates combine their studies with
‘runs,’ or prostitution, it is not surprising that
these protocol officers find it very easy to
procure ladies for their bosses.
Sources at the government house informed one
of our correspondents that so many girls have
“made it” by associating with political office
holders and their cronies since the current
democratic dispensation commenced in 1999.
In fact, one of our correspondents learnt that
these ‘runs girls’ go out of their way to
cultivate the acquaintance of the protocol
officers and Personal assistants of political
office holders, who give out the “jobs.” It was
gathered that most female students look
forward to an “invitation” to attend any of the
exclusive parties where the selected girls are
passed around to the ‘big shots.’
According to a source, who is close to the
corridors of power in the state, girls who
participate in such activities are rewarded
handsomely.
“These girls don’t take home anything less than
N50, 000 just for a night, and that is when it
is just a small party.
“In fact, the normal take home package for
serious hook-ups ranges from N100, 000. The
fee can even rise much higher when the girl is
able to cultivate a personal relationship with
the concerned patron. It is a known fact that
from such casual acquaintance, some girls
have been known to acquire choice property,
cars, shops and even good jobs,” the source
said.
A former governor in the state is believed to
have rewarded several young ladies with car
gifts for their ‘intimate services,’ of course.
The source further explained that the protocol
officers, and the PAs, usually establish contact
with the young girls through ‘links,’ who are
usually guys, or more experienced girls who
have participated in such activities in the past.
Such ‘links’ abound in most of the student
residences, and hostels that litter the Coal City.
The Government House source explained that
the girls are usually camped in the more
upscale hotels whenever the VIPs require their
services.
In fact, according to the source, the protocol
officers and PAs have established long standing
business relationships with the managers of
the concerned hotels, to the extent that rooms
are reserved ahead of time, whenever the need
arises.
The story is not different in Ondo State where
guests are usually entertained with different
kinds of girls during visits. A source at the
Government House disclosed that the guests
are usually accommodated at the VIP section
of the Government House at Alagbaka, Akure,
the state capital.
According to the source, the entertainment of
guests depends on the preference of the
visitors, saying some like to be entertained
with women while others simply like to just
drink.
“Anytime there are personal guests for the
governor or a guest who comes on an official
visit, they are usually lodged at the VIP Lodge
of the Government House and if there is no
space at the Government House, they would be
lodged at any of the standard hotels in town.
“The guests would be entertained with
whatever they prefer. Some of them do come
along with their girls while some will ask us to
provide them with girls to spend the night
with. So the ladies will be invited to come and
accompany them,” the source explained.
The source however said in most cases, the
guests pay the girls they sleep with, noting that
the amount charged depends on the
negotiating power of the two parties but the
protocol officers may sometimes offer the
ladies transport fares while the ‘client’ pays the
‘service charge.’
“That has been the trend right from the days
of the military administrators; it was even
worse at that time than it is now. During that
period, it was government that paid whatever
amount each girl collected, not the guest but
no one can say specifically the actual amount
spent on these girls,” the source added.
In Cross River State, investigation showed that
the use of government lodges as slaughter
zones for girls has been a known trend since
the military era.
Under the guise of ushers, young female
undergraduates are usually camped at top
government apartments such as the
Presidential Lodge, Dan Archibong Lodge and
Solomon Uno Lodge. During the era of the past
administration in the state, our correspondent
learnt that a young lady (name withheld), was
in charge of recruiting these girls under a
clandestine sub-head in the protocol unit of
the governor’s office.
It was also gathered that these ladies, who are
paid between N20, 000 and N50, 000
depending on the dignitaries they are meant to
service, were also camped in two major high
brow hotels in Calabar.
Some privately owned properties in the State
Housing Estate in Calabar Municipality are also
identified to have been used by top officials
during the past administration.
A government source, who preferred
anonymity, told one of our correspondents
that these girls appear as ushers during the
day whenever there are big events but are
used to satisfy the sexual desire of willing
dignitaries at night.
“Those that are not chosen by these dignitaries
at night are usually paid around N20, 000
while those who follow them get more. There
is this lady that was in charge of them during
the era of the last administration. You can
easily identify the girls because they are
usually packed together in one of the
government buses in the guise of being
ushers,” he said. While many aides of
governors in different states refused to
comment on the findings, the Chief Press
Secretary to Cross River State governor,
Christian Ita, said the governor was too busy
to engage in such a ‘mess.’ He added that there
is no time to engage in such frivolity.
He said, “The resources here are well utilised;
they are not meant for frivolities like that. We
don’t even have a lodge here. The one we once
had has been commercialised. It’s a hotel now,
a business. We don’t have such experience in
Cross River.
“Both the former and the current governors
are too serious to be doing that. We go to
work by 7:30am and get back around 3am.
The governor is serious-minded. We are
focused on moving the state forward, so there
is no truth in that.”
Also, the CPS to the Edo State governor, Peter
Okhiria, said such practice does not exist in
the state.
He said, “That’s a bad story. We don’t have
such experience here. The governor stays in
the lodge with his beautiful wife and he is very
serious-minded. He has a lot of work to do
and he’s always thinking of how to move the
state forward.”
Likewise, the Senior Special Assistant to the
Governor on Media in Enugu State, Louiz
Amoka, expressed surprise at the development,
as he said it was not happening in the state
governor’s lodge.
“Haba! What kind of story is that? Come and
do the investigation. You will discover that
such is not happening here,” he said.
The Commissioner for Information, Akwa Ibom
State, Aniekan Umanah, said, “I don’t know
about that. We’re not aware of that. The
governor is very busy doing his job of
governing the state. Akwa Ibom State is not
involved in such. Nothing like that is
happening here.”
Also,the Chief Press Secretary to Ondo State
Governor, Mr. Eni Akinsola, denied that the
state government facilities were used for such
activities.
In a text message he sent to one of our
correspondents, Akinsola said, “I have not
heard such report about anybody in Ondo
State. All I am sure of is that nobody uses the
Governor’s house as a sex haven and nobody
can turn it into such.
“The lodge is one building where the governor
and his wife live. Other buildings in the
Government House are for house functionaries
of government and their wives. It is therefore
impossible for anyone to turn any of such
buildings into a sex haven or any other anti-
social vices.
“For those who are qualified for government
lodges, they live with their families. It will
therefore be unimaginable for such to happen.
The governor, as a responsible family man, has
been and remains a role model to his aides
and other government officials in modesty and
decency. For such lurid tales, count Ondo
State out.”

Radoillo:
Oh, you are descended from the Obis of Uruagu? Interesting. Yes, the Isu connection between Nnewi and Igbouzo is interesting. Sadly, I haven't read C. N. Ugochukwu's book. It was in my school's University bookshop years ago, but back then I had little interest in history beyond the history of my town.

The Isu founder of Igbouzo was called Umejei, which is interesting, because I noticed in John Alutu's book that a lot of people in Nnewi's early history had the prefix 'Ume' in their names. I'm convinced it was some of the aboriginal Isu elements in Uruagu who fled during the Isu dispersal that crossed the Niger and founded Igbouzo. I'm not sure mainstream historians have fully recognized this yet because they keep writing that Umejei came from the Isu north of Awka (Isu-Anaocha).

But, bro, let me ask oh, what was the beef with Oraifite in those old days? More than half of the wars you guys fought back then was with Oraifite? Aren't you guys supposed to be siblings?

Those weren't really wars per se,let's say communal conflicts.Uruagu needed land to expand.
My ancestors,the Obis of Uruagu,were descended from a daughter of Isu,Nnewi's brother,so the tale went.When Isu's house went on exile,the nwadiana had to hold the homestead,especially from Digbo (Otolo's father and Nnewi's second or third son)and his sons intent on encroaching.He succeeded in uniting Nnewi's younger sons,especially Edoji and rallying them to his cause.That eventually led to the establishment of Uruagu as a quarter.
Having no inheritance of his own,coupled with Isu's household gradually returning from exile,the new Obis of Uruagu needed to expand and the only place to look is Ifite's uninhabited inheritance.Eze Em merely pushed Oraifite farther down than they would have been now,wasn't really something serious.As tradition on both sides has it,blood wasn't spilled.My grandmother was from Ifite,btw.Of course,Otolo lent support seeing as it will take the focus of expansionist Eze Em,Afuogu's son and successor,off the then prevailing supremacy battle in Nnewi.You do realize the Otolo quarter and hence the Igwe are not descended from Nnewi's first son,NneÁlà,don't you?.But no,most our real battles then weren't with bloodkin or we would have gone on exile again.Spilling blood of kin,whether unintentional or not,is an abomination against the earth goddess Ana,Edo herself and Ezemewi.
Oh,Umeh isn't a name really but a class of ozo title in Nnewi.There are four classes:Eze,Umeh,Dunu/Dim and Dala.Basically equal,but slightly different requirements for taking them.An ozo titleholder has his class of title prefixed to his ozo name.E.g,UmeOzuligbo,EzeOdumegwu,UmeOgujiofor,DunuIfudu,Umejei(UmeEjei) and so on.
Anybody from my village can easily pick out my umunna's name from those examples,as we're the ruling family there.

Radoillo:
I'm visiting family in my home town, Awka, and I found copies in the state library there. They wouldn't lend me a copy because I'm not fully registered, and I won't be here long enough to fully register.

If I have time sha, I'll pop in there before I leave town, make some notes and post here. I find the careers of some of the Obis and the wars Nnewi fought with there neighbours particularly interesting. Hope to share some of those.

Cool.
You do that.Of late,I've been interested in the Isu relationship between Igbouzo of old and Nnewi,especially Uruagu.An interest more piqued by what's this author's name again? C.N Ugochukwu.
Too much of a coincidence Igbouzo is known as Isu fulu ogu ju nni and my ancestor,Eze Afuogu,also went by that.

Radoillo:
I understand this thread is ancient But I came across Alutu's book again yesterday, and this is what he says in Chapter One (page 6, Third Edition):

"In the beginning - perhaps about the 15th century AD - the first man, the father of the people known today as Nnewi people - came from Ndoni in Olu and was known as Mmaku. When he was leaving Olu, he took a piece of chalk from the shrine of Eze Agana, which in Nnewi has, for ages, been called Eze Duga, and went away.

In another place, Alutu recognised the existence of other traditions that derived Nnewi ancestors from migrants who came from a 'northerly' direction, notably Agbaja Abatete.

Yeah,you're right.Read that in my father's copy when I was home briefly in March.Old man wouldn't let me go with his book.
You still have the book with you?.Maybe some relevant excerpts,flesh this thread out the more.
Mmaku and his son Ikenga (though some traditions have Ikenga as the father),are undisputedly the founders of Nnewi,Ifite and Ichi,but other streams did come in.Like the Amilibas in Otolo,Nneruo in Uruagu and Awor-Oraifite,Nri in Okpunoeze Uruagu,among others.These families we know today tho.They are an integral part of Nnewi,but their histories are well known.

For those who truly want to know and be educated about Nigeria's agric potentials and more,a non-biased reading of this thread and this one https://www.nairaland.com/2522113/omitted-truth-debunking-lies...nigeria-states,should suffice.
