Scores so far.

Idun'oba ehis:
To know that the igbos are up to something, in any igbo website when they want to list igbo cities the first city they cal is Agbor, Asaba, Ibusa, Ogwashi-UKU, Port harcort, before they list any SE City. Some have even extended it to Igbanke and Umunede. They bombard these lies in every website so as misinform people.

That reminds me, I read in one igbo site that the name Ogwashi Uku is Igbo, and that it means palace of nshi as if ogwa is an igbo word. That's a big lie, Ogwashi Uku i a combination of three Benin words though one of them has been coruptd.
Ogwa means palace/gathering in Benin/Anioma languages.
Ashi is the Aniocha/Oshimili is

Once again, shut up your stinking mouth. No one is interested in your long sermon, castrated monkey.

Idun'oba ehis:
Why is that it's only the igbos outside of Ikaland that call us igbos. I have never heard an igbo man anywhere in Ikaland say Ika is Igbo. Are they afraid? Or maybe they know better than their igbo brothers outside Ikaland.

I am not igbo and I can never be igbo. God forbid. A people that sell their women for money. A people that kil their sons inorder to inherit their wive and property leaving the man's children to die of hunger. The other day we went to Imo state for marriage can't believ what I saw. We also went to thesame Imo for the burial of an inlaw, they were requesting for a cow even though we were the one that actually gave them a wife. What an uncultured and barbaric bunch ıgbos are. Always twisting things to suit them. Bunch of hypocrytes and propagandist.

monkey, shut up your stinking mouth. Who cares if you are Igbo or not. With over 30 million Igbos, who needs a fool like you, idiot

killayut: There is Ibibio punk and the people of Akwa Ibom are the Ibibios. They are different from the Efiks of Calabar.. AND tHERE ARE NO IGBOS in Rivers state But Ikwere, Ogba Egbema and Etche and they are just about 1/4 of the state's population. Rivers state has Ogoni and ABUA and ANDONI as well and Engenni too..

It seems you have come back with this your Igbo hatred again. How can you say there are no Igbo groups in Rivers state. This is the most laughable post in this thread.
For those who care o know. The following are Igbo in Rivers state: Omuma, Etche, Asa, Ndoki, Egbema. Also Ikwerre, Ekpeye, ndoni and Ogba are Igbo groups though some of they are too confused to accept their Igbo identity.

qhiwegh: Don't try this on me. I have been to Enugu and Onitsha in the past year (am from Lagos), and I have friends who do business there. Igbos are a lot more closed to Yorubas and Hausas in Igboland than Yorubas and Hausas are to Igbos in their respective lands. This no one can deny. Igbos don't want to play fair, and that's why I resent them.

Shut up once again poor girl, you haven't got what it takes to compete with them in the east. Looser

nagoma: We so easily forget and only remember because we hate any unity that could lead to peace. On January 26th 2012 BH attacked various security outfits in kano and people on the street . 211 people where killed and the vast majority of them ( at least 90% were local northern population going about their legitimate business but no body takes note of that . Even the NL tribal warriors felt it was okay if BH killed northerners and Muslims. The terrorists problem will prolong itself as long as we feel it is other people's problem and not Nigeria's problem and it's okay to have Muslims killed by terrorists and it's only bad if Igbos or Christians are affected.

Monkey, if Igbos begin to kill Igbos, people will say it is their own problem. Let Boko Haram tackle their own people and leave others alone. When Opc under Ganiyu Adams clashed with Fredrick Fasehu's faction some years ago, it was labelled a Yoruba problem.
Boko haram should leave Yorubas, Igbos, IJaws, Tivs, Igalas etc alone

qhiwegh: I got one more fact: They Southeast is also the most xenophobic region in Nigeria. Especially in the Igbo states, where they will not accept non-Igbos. Why is it that the Igbos are everywhere in Nigeria (like the plague), but when Yorubas and Hausas go to Igboland, they're treated with contempt by the Igbos? Igboland for the Igbos but Yorubaland for everyone?

Shut up your stinking mouth fool. Nothing stops others from coming to Igboland. There are Yorubas and Hausas in Igboland. Why not go there and see things for your self.

shymexx: Have you read any book about the history of black Britons??

He's one of the greatest black Britons ever and his pictures are everywhere you have got anything about black history in the UK... The history of black people in the UK is incomplete without him... He was a great man...

I came across some stuffs like that during the black history week of 2010

shymexx: Anyway, black British history isn't complete without Olaudah Equiano - he paved the way for me...

Salute to the man, anyway!

Nice one bro.

shymexx: This is your Andre_Uweh side...

Interesting - Physics also alluded to this...

Perhaps, colonial Igbo societal structure would be more suitable for Igbos today than what we've got in Nigeria, no However, one can always make an exception as well by citing King Jaja of Opobo and the other Igbos who settled in Opobo Kingdom and thrived under absolute monarchy... Heck, Jaja of Opobo was one of the greatest African Kings of the 19th century....

Ngodigha is it.
When Jaja left Amaigbo he wasn't a monarch. But the society he found himself made him what he later became. Prior to his relocating to Opobo, he was under a on a monarchial system of govt at Bonny and would have acquired the act of rulership while in Bonny.
Indeed, Jaja was great

shymexx: Interesting...

I already asked PhysicsQED this question but he didn't offer much explanation - probably because he isn't that much into Igbo history... I'll like to know why the ancient Igbo Kingdoms like: Nri, Arochukwu, and Igbo-ukwu were not imperialistic enough to build a larger empire?? - was it because of the terrain, or the democratic nature of the people, and the culture??

Because they had no absolute monarchs. The culture gave no room for absolute monarchs. Absolute monarchs would want territorial expansion and empire status. But that was not in the nature of pre-colonial Igbo societies

ak47mann: i think is beacuse too much mmanu in their genetic make ups so they prefer Yoruba because they lick Yoruba on daily basis, that's like part of them i believe

I called a yoruba man Yoruba recently, to my greatest surprise he began to laugh.

Negro_Ntns: ezi oku? what do you mean my biafran brother? what do you mean this is 2013.....we dont speak political truths anymore because its a new year?

As Igbo people have stopped creating unneccessary awo topics this 2013, yorubas should reciprocate by not creating Igbo topics.

The Ooni of Ife needs to shut up completely. He talks nonsense all the time but when you expect him to talk sense he wont. Now that Alafin's housed was gutted by fire, yorugbas expect him to console Alafin, yet he has failed to do so.
That his mouth should be looked up and the keys thrown inside Osun River.

Negro_Ntns: oouuh, I like that!

Ogbuefi Negro my friend, what does it benefit you to open all sorts of idiotic threads that you know the consequence?. You are no longer an attention seeker, so why are you creating uneccessary work for the mods and super mod to make your post look sensible?.
This is 2013, you know.

oyb: yaaawn . . .the chest beaters are back for more in 2013

imagine endorsing soludo - master of the coverup - as presidential material

Poor boy, your posts is so full of hate. Get a real life.

Ndigbo in Lagos are not interested in Lagos politics, they hardly go out to contest nor stand for elections. The only time Ndigbo recently came out to vote was last presidential election.
Bigots here should count Ndigbo out of this nonsense. To hell with Lagos elections.

Abagworo: No Warri is an Igbo name.The people we call Owerri today once lived in Warri but relocated via River Niger to present day Owerri. "Warri" is a corruption of the name "Owerri".

Not again please.
