Reporter,

Thank u for that quote!

Good writeup, except for this, . . . .

I love this country and I want us to sustain this country because we are better united

I disagree, we were never united. We partnered in a business deal that has turned out unprofitable for the individual principal. Why continue to drain each other? Dissolve and take our losses and look forward to a new day.

Do you have any picture of the refugee camp in Imo?

I was going to say something but since this is for women and their children I will hold my tongue. . . . .at least for now!

Negro whistles in Ibo

Check this out. . . . IGBOGLOBIM@gmail.com what do u think?

Hey, lu. . . . check this, what u think of this hat?

What exactly would be the purpose of reopening it? What needs to be said now that has not already been said, except maybe to showoff on new acquisitions and usages of the English grammar?

We are past that opportunity when the discussion would have been useful. Im glad Beaf, you have a new awakening. Lets discuss realities currently confronting us. . . .SNC is in top three but it is not top 2 on the list.

IBO Apartheid

In the Southeast of Nigeria, the people of Umuode in
Nkanu East local government area of Enugu State, who are said to be the descendants
of the Osu, are being treated as second class citizens. In their Oruku community made
up of Umuode, Umuchiani and Onuogowu, the people of Umuode have limited social
interaction with the rest of the community because of their ascribed Osu status. And
strangely, the other two villages cannot intermarry with the people of Umuode.

No matter their social status in the community the local churches could hardly appoint the
people of Umuode to positions of responsibility. Thus, the people are made outcasts.
This class ostracism is operated in such a manner that any person from the other side
of the community who talks to, or greets any person from Umuode, pays a fine
sometimes as high as one Thousand Naira (N1,000). Because of this situation the
people of Umuode operate their own local market different from the Eke-oruku market,
which is owned exclusively by Umuchiani and Onuogowo.

The people of Umuode have waged wars against this social stigma; about five major conflicts have been recorded in
this area since 1995, and many lives have been lost (Agbaegbu, 12 Jan. 2000).
The people of Umuaka community in Imo State, Nigeria, categorize one of their ten
villages Osu. Other minor lower caste groups found in many kindred are given the
pejorative Igbo expression of ‘ndi ejiri goro ihe,’ meaning those who are sacrificial lamb
to the gods. They are slaves to the gods of the community and kindred. As is the case
in Umuode in Oruku community, the discrimination of the Diala against the Osu in
Umuaka affects marriage and relationships of love with the Osu and the rest of the
community. The Diala is traditionally and socially abhorred and forbidden to marry an
Osu; intermarriage with Osu is an abomination.

However, some communities, for example, Nnobi in Idemili local government area of
Anambra State, have been able to fully integrate their Osu population into the
mainstream of the community. 8 All other Igbo communities should emulate the good
work of the Nnobi community and work harder to bridge the Osu divide in their areas.
In Umuaka the Osus who are interested in politics in the community are not getting the
necessary support from the rest of the community. This has greatly hindered their social
upward mobility in the community. In the past the avid supporters of the Osu caste
system would even refrain from eating (dinning) with them or drink from the same waterwell
(pond) with the Osu.

As noted earlier, this type of behavior could be likened to the issues during the civil right
struggles in the United States when the ‘whites’ and ‘blacks’ were prevented from
drinking from the same public fountain (Smelser 1981). In the past when the Osu
discriminatory behavior was taken to the extreme, those who believed in the system
would even refrain from touching the Osu for fear of being transformed into an Osu. In
addition, in the past the ardent supporters of the Osu caste system would not buy
whatever the Osu merchants had for sell in the local market. During that period in
review, there was an apparent superstition that the ghost of the ancestors would haunt
any person who was friendly with the Osu. There has been some slight improvement in
social interaction between the Diala and the Osu, although inter-marriage between the
two is still seen as a social taboo by the Diala.

In the late 1980s, the Osu people in Umuaka revolted, as they could not take the
humiliation from the Diala any more. They physically assaulted a couple of women from
the Diala section of the community, with the intention of transforming the women to Osu
so that the Diala would reject them. The action would also give them the taste of the
pains and humiliation of the Osu status. The brouhaha that followed this action was
short-lived, as the Diala in the community responded with counter forces. In Imo State
alone over 60 of such incidents have been reported since 1979 (see Ezeala & the
Association for Social Justice (not dated); and Agbaegbu, 12 January 2000).

Bullshyyt story. . . .concocted by an amateur conspiracist. Put a professional to do the job and make it convincing.

hehehehehe

I am from a noble Igbo family that was chosen to become a royal family when the Igbos began to have kings in imitation of their neighbors; the Igala, and the Bini.

. . .hey, ^^^ keep ya eyeballs on that!

WE DON'T CARE ABOUT ZIK LOLZ

thank you freak, bookmarked!

. . .shyyt, at the mention os his name Ojukwu slipped into a tutu and high heels. . .  

Adekunle's gotta be the baddest mofo to ever touch foot on Biafra.   Ojuku did not just run away. . . ., no, the dude changed his gender look. . . .just in case!  oh my . . . hahahaha

Did he take it straight or make a cocktail out of it? Like say Rat poison and ginger ale or something. .

oh, he took it the way it worked when Zik drank his bottle.

Hey bashr. . . Obj say hello!

is that why awolowo drank rat poison

yes. . . .the one bottle left out of the two Zik bought to poison himself.

dede, are you saying you are a better authority than a future Eze to narrate the story and customs of your people? I thought your Eze's word is supreme.

oh yes I read and understood for myself how warped and insane Ojukwu was.  I also understood, which I never knew before, that Biafra was created to be a communist nation and the profits of any successful individual ibo belonged to all ibos collectively.  

Makes sense why you all run away from the communist land and escape where you can greedily hold to your profit without sharing.

bashr, is there anything about ibo that is not the best in the world?   in fact we can now say that America was founded by an ibo man.

quote from Ojukwus declaration of Ahiara.

What then should he the qualities of this Biafran of the new order? He is patriotic, loyal to his state, his government and its leadership. He must not do anything, which undermines the security of his state or gives advantage to the enemies of his country. He must not indulge in such evil practices as tribalism and nepotism, which weaken the loyalty of their victims to the state. He should be prepared if need be to give up his life in defence of the nation.

yet the gburugburu slipped into a tutu and high heel and jet. . . . . . ,

Oh Physics, you bother to respond to his ignorance about history.  I dont know what calendar or trade system ibo had that was unique.   If we start talking about calendars you will discover thatthey imitated the knowledge from Benin or Igala.  If we go into trade you will find they never had an trading route.  Hausa had Kano which went back into centuries.  Yoruba had Ilorin and Ibadan which went back into centuries.  Tell ibo to mention one city that was an ancient trading post and he will say onitsha.  muhehehe!  They brag about what they are underdeveloped in.  typical yanmiri!

Bashr. . . . Uwazuruike has done good.

Aworis want ibos to get the fvck out of Lagos.  They say you are a nuisance and to the land and they are afraid the curse that follow you everwhere might contaminate the land.    .  

whats up with that refugee camp in Imo. . . you reserved a spot yet?

Aworis want ibos to get the fvck out of Lagos. They say you are a nuisance and to the land and they are afraid the curse that follow you everwhere might contaminate the land. .

Ugly Yorubas are very appealing to beautiful and gorgeous Brazilians. Puerto Ricans and Cubans. . . . . They love everything Yoruba. . . hmmm!!

Now, lets see who love handsome ibo? None. . . theyd prefer you get the fvck out of their land.

. . .whatever!

chew on this. . . .

I am from a noble Igbo family that was chosen to become a royal family when the Igbos began to have kings in imitation of their neighbors; the Igala, and the Bini.

Bshr, check me out. . . . do you like my swagger?

I am from a noble Igbo family that was chosen to become a royal family when the Igbos began to have kings in imitation of their neighbors; the Igala, and the Bini.

. . . . focus on what a member of your royal family said. A noble blood of your tribe said this is how his ibo fore fathers came into royalty, by learning and imitating the Binis and the Igalas.


I love this swagger. . . do you like it? Thats Obj, the son of Owu Kingdom.

Newsflash!!

Rubber and Palm Oil is widely distributed in the West African Coast. Rubber and Palm Oil is not limited to the East alone. Ibadan, Ondo, Ogun all have palm oil and rubber. . . . and on along the coast to even Ghana. The same cannot be said of Cocoa. Cocoa is limited to West of Nigeria and on along the coast to Ghana.

So if the country divides, there is nothing you have in East that is not duplicated in West. Whereas there are resources in West that dont have duplicates in East.

Not to mention that beside the rubber and palm oil cash crops, your land is not suitable for commercial farming and you will end up depending on importation of food from West and North and Middle Belt. You go suffer!!

I am from a noble Igbo family that was chosen to become a royal family when the Igbos began to have kings in imitation of their neighbors; the Igala, and the Bini.

. . . . confirmation that ibo was civilized by its neighbors. they never had kings in their history and explains also why they never conquered anyone or anyland. Without a king to lead an expansion campaign they remained unknown to the West African civilizations and Imperial societies. Now that they have been taught by the Binis and the Igalas . . . they since became aggressive trying to assert their uncivilized culture in parity with that of their colonizers - the Binis and Igalas.

Repeat. . . . Trying to break up the country!!
