manny4life: Why do I think you're ndu_chuks?

What are you talking about? They were here at different times of the day, presented their manifestos, some answered questions and the others returned later and answered theirs. You've said the election is a SHAM and a JOKE, but haven't said why.

I'm not here to give you a argument match, if you feel it is, you know what to do...Peace.

Policewoman: All hail Nduchuks.

PointB: @ndu_chucks,

The position of the commission is that non-Igbos are not allowed to participate except as observers. We expect reasonable folks like you to appreciate this. We understand your passion for Igbo affairs (and many believe you are up to no good), but so let it rest. The contestant are not obliged to respond to know question (no matter you much pertinent you think of them), but if the opt to respond to them, all well and good.

Alfamann: And you are the abandoned son of Eko-Ile

Noiseless2: If you lots have nothing to hide at all, I challenge you to be civil and allow Biafran activists without intimidation and threat of murder just the way your British
masters do to their Scottish brothers, I challenge you dammit!

Syncan: Kedu ndi o na akpo umu nne ya, o bu anyi ka o bu ndi ugwu?

Ngwakwe: Let me rephrase the question

Who were you?

DerideGull: I do not think Dede1 would be highly disappointed with your silly postulation in the above post. You should have equally asked Ngwakwe how many of his\her so-called Aunts and Uncles who did not make back to eastern region in 1966 during and after the despicable act of insanity called pogrom.

berem: Dumb post! if you were truly an igbo man,you shouldn't have written this trash! why should you call him ignorant because he writes in Igbo? if you got problem with that,you either get a translator or you simply ignore his igbo comments.

Syncan: Biko nu ndi be anyi, unu ahula ka itibolibo si araputa onwe ya? Biko nu ndi be anyi onye ka na ebuli okwute n'oge ugbua e ji egbe na mgbo alu ogu na akpo onye ozo old fashion hahahaha, I choro ka ogbako a nabata mmadu nile ma noro n'elu ya n'asi chupu syncan. Ignorant bu onye na a maghi na egypt ejighi okwute atugbu mmadu, o bunadi mgbe gboo, o bu na obodo palestine nke mechara buru nke umu izirelu ka e jiri okwute tugbuo mmadu. A na e ji isi ahuru were mara uto nsi, i gbaala itiborobo gi n'anwu. Udo chia.

Alfamann: See them coming out of their caves. Who the hell are you to recommend that someone doesn't express oneself in one's mother tongue? Did Ogugua complain to you?
There is no alienation. Igbo language is a living language and should be expressed freely in any situation and in all kind of manners.
Oya, face west.

Ngwakwe: My Aunts and Uncles that live in the North before the War told me that Nyamiri is what Hausas call Igbos and that it was specifically derived from Nyem mmiri.

Nyamiri is not and has never been a derogatory word.

It is not a begging thing but a normal offering or welcome presentation during a courtesy call between Igbos.

The same as Ngwa man calling other Igbos Ndi Ohuhu because of their preference to roasting the yam in emergency to Ngwa man's insistence on cooking the yam.

manny4life: ndu chuks,

You're still arguing?

PointB: Thanks for not trying to derail the thread. I am though happy to see Dede1 expose the fallacy in your claims.

I agree with him that if Ndi Igbo can call the attention of your numerous 'mai ruwa' in pidgeon hausa as you claim, same logic demands they ask for water in similar fashion.

My peep have been calling Okoros, Nyamiri way before the war and it was not because they were begging for water. The term was coined by market women because they heard Igbo door to door traders ask fellow Igbos for water when they stopped to visit those fellow Igbo traders who operated stalls at the markets.

PointB: My brother 9ja_I_hail
Thanks for the latest update.

Dede1: The constant yelling of “Onye Mmiri” by Ndigbo, both young and old, led to the coinage of the term Nyemiri. I guess the dielectrically constraints forced out O, E and one of the Ms from “Onye Mmiri” to give rise to “Nyamiri”

I am not losing anything rather you are perfecting the act of denial and the niche to be mischievous as you grow into adulthood, Nwannem. You should stop regarding a belly birth as a full birth.

Andre Uweh: Shagari did not resist arrest, and he was spared. Shonekan did not resist handing over to Abacha, and his life was spared. If you are a civilian and you resist military takeover, then something dreadful might happen as in the case of Ahmadu Bello.

Dede1: What an arrant nonsense. The term Nyamiri was coined from (Onye Mmiri) as street name Ndigbo call the Aboki people who carry containers of water on their shoulders as they hawk and sell water in northern region of Nigeria.
