This comment you made here reminds me about a certain time you were going back and forth with Andre Uwe and you actually agreed you were Igbo. Identity crisis.

Ngige is a fraud and his association with apc made things worse. He stole Anambra mandate and set us back two yrs. He was never duely elected as a governor and he is one of the reason why Anambra is still where it is, today. I m getting unease and I can't wait for Anambra to put his political career to rest.

Even without the debate we all know that Obiano is light years ahead of Ngige and Uba. I have heard the man speak and he oozes with intelligence and polish. Here is a man who went to school,graduated and worked himself to wealth. Dude is too bbbadt.....AKPOKUE DIKE NA AGULU-ERI!

This man is in a class of his own. Danm! Very direct articulate and composed. God bless my beloved state with Obiano...Please, dear God.

Chase out people who join our enemies to mock us when we were persecuted.
Break the strong hands of the rich who think they can buy over Anambra with their money bags.
Listen to the prayers of our able governor and bless Obodo Omanbala.

ezeagu: Original post: I didn't read the whole thing because I have already read this theory. My conclusion is that the dates don't match up with events that the kingdom is associated with. If Eri were from the 1500s then it discredits the ancestry of places that are Igbo-speaking west of the Niger since much of those communities were at least populated by some Nri-cultured people well before that date. For example Ogwashi-Ukwu is a direct settlement of Nri or Nri-like people. "Ogwa Nshi Ukwu" literally translates as the 'Great hall of Nri (Nshi)'. The dates don't add up and this debates seems more like a political smear than research.

The write up is completely flawed. This is most definitely a smear campaign but it won't stick. Imagine somebody saying Eri wasn't an Igbo!

Infact,Awka isn't Igbo,if you feel otherwise show me the proof,since we are just pulling things out of our aasses. Show me a proof that Awka is indeed Igbo and not Igala. Because true Igbo doesn't answer "attah"!

So,if Eri wasn't Igbo what was he ? I guess Igala...lol. radio without battery. People will just open their mouth and keep vomiting sshit they can't clean. No evidence nor any kind of proof. Just sit down and make things up because I feel like doing it.

Any sign or proof of a lost language in the core Omanbala areas? No,I just feel like saying Eri was Igala and not Igbo....lol

If you have commited an abomination and nobody in your community poses the wisdom of medicine to cleanse it it is because you have no wise men amongst you,hence you resolve to invite a wiseman from afar who understands the art of medicine to a greater level,which will make him a superior to you.

Onweli mgbe nnukwu dibia bialu be ndi bidebeli ayi bia boo nsi. Mgbe omesilia,ndi omelife welu nnukwu ana jilu kwuo ya ugwo.

The more you lots talk about Nri the more I find more reason to look down on you,mock and ridicule you.

Cultureless bbastards!

Agukwu is the name of the town where Eri's eldest son,Ifikwuanim settle. There is no town known simply as "Nri". People fondly call Agukwu Nri. As in Nri-Agukwu,or Agukwu-Nri.

It is not everything that must be taught. Certain things are common sense. Not every Nri descendants originated directly from the projenitor. Some migrated,multiplied and spread out. In this case you don't expect people from Agukwu,Enugwu Agidi nor Enugwu Ukwu to remember all these people.

And Abagworo made up new lines.

"Ikpualu" is not made for "free borns"......Even being a medical doctor is not for free borns. It is for slaves like Eri and his children. Very entertaining concept !
Abagworo,why don't you tell me the extraction of Adama you came from ? In doing that you might partially be an Omanbala and you insecurities will go away....

pazienza: According to edda people, Aros were called Aro Okeigbo, because they were stationed at the boundary between the Igbos and Ibibios. Oke= boundary.

This is funny because Odumchi actually think the "Oke" in Oke-Igbo means "GREAT",as in great Igbo. Sometime it good to leave people to hang themselves.

Radoillo:

Actually, I blame colonial officer-writers, like AG Leonard, who had a very poor understanding of Africans, but made some general conclusions based on some 'superficialities'.

AG Leonard was the first person to say Igbos arose from Nri, in his 1906 book. Jeffreys said something similar in the 1930s when he claimed that all Igbo culture came from Nri.

Nri people have held strongly to these erroneous versions constructed by uncomprehending Europeans and have largely ignored evidence that shows the Europeans were wrong. Including evidence embedded in the traditions and practices of Nri people themselves.

You are a liar and I have no respect for liars! I don't say what I don't know,rather I shut up. You are the one that said Awka has no history of migrating from anywhere then you turn around and say some came from Igala,Umudioka and Adagbe. I asked you the origin of Urueri,Awka and you said you are danm sure they are not Nri stock yet you don't know where they came from. And you went ahead and told you has an Umunri kindred in Awka but they aren't Nri stock. How old are you ? Like 200yrs ? I am not here to force anything on you but you must learn to say what you know and keep shut about what you don't. Liar!

If you know very well about the DUNUKOFIA clan then you will know about their origins. You came here and claimed only Awka and Aro were known travellers leaving out Nri. I have never heard Awka were travelllers until you said it here. How about the "MBURUCHIs". I have told you to stay away from Abagworo but you won't listen because you are blinded by your weak resolve to dint Nri image. I will ride this out with you,then.

Tell me more about Awka!

Ok,first of all there is no historry nor tradition that backed up the claim that Eri was an Igala man. I mean,if you decide to revisit peoples history you must do so with some hardcore facts not only to disprove the popular one but to also convince people that that has accepted the earlier one. Everything writtin here was done out of fear,insecurity and low self esteem. Take IgboUkwu for example,they were never called Igboukwu until the coming of the whiteman. Igbo Ukwu was formally known as Igbo NKWO and this is what they were known as before the whiteman came with his religion.

Moving forward; And this is for the Awka history distorter,Rodillo, who has been researching about Awka since he was seventeen. Whatever that means. Awka has no system of governance until Nri introduced NZE na OZO to them and the institution become the ruling class even up till today. This was revealed by Rodillo himself.

The Adama of Nri has been running around claiming the bequested Nri with the right of cleansing and rituals and I think this is the most stupid line of arguement. How can you give up the most important part of your tradition to a foreigner who you at the same time claimed were nobody. This is nothing more than grasping at straw. Very weak and shameful arguement. The Adamas were unintelligent and uncivilived when Eri arrived and the wisdom that Eri poses consumed them and they adopted the Eri system of governance(Nze na Ozo),his religion(Omenani) and his culture. He gave his followers and new convert the title of Nze na Ozo which means that you are pure and does no evil. His children multiplied,mixed up with the aborigins and migrated to other parts of Igboland including but not limited to Enugu,Anioma and Imo.

Igboukwu claimed to own the iron work that was discoverd in their land but they have no history of blacksmithing. Oraeri people were the ones that lived in that land before a certain war drove them away. It is absolutely preposterous for Igboukwu to go around claiming what they never had.

Abagworo is a cultureless old f.ool who go around making up things to tarnish Nri image but onye melua ana,ana esobie!

Anaedo,it varies from town to town...lol. By the way I am getting married in November and my woman is frm Umuoji but the total expences ranging from "Iku aka",Ibu ego" and "Igba nkwu" isn't even up to 200,000 naira. Sometimes,the family that you are marrying from will determine how much you spend.

Abagworo,you made a mistake by daring me. I will return to this thread. Be ready!

gbanikiti: You are still a supremacist no doubt. Thanks for the segregation.

Well,you can call me whatever you like and I could care less. Just tell your brother to leave my state alone and we will be fine.

Abagworo:

Chino you are a born coward and I'm not surprised because you are descendant of a fugitive. I have only one handle and that's Abagworo/abagoro but you've created more than a thousand monikers from chino1 to chino500 to NRIPRIEST to Odenigbo to bestview etc. Its in your DNA.

I am not Chino and everybody knows that...This remains Nri priest aka Odenigbo Aroli.

So,who are you gonna claim next ? Let me suggest,why don't you claim the Orsumoghus,Uli and those that live by the boreder,since claiming Nnewi will be a stretch for you.

I'm blessed to see this!
Odumchi,let it be.

Truckpusher: .....See as you just dey tear your cloth .....madman ,oya bring rope make i tie you


I'm not ijaw ,get that into your dumb head you dumb fucck........wacky backy fellow....smh

Stop denying your tribe you shoeless fisherman! You are an Ijaw !

Abagworo: If he can redeem himself this last minute, then its commendable. At least he tried like a football team that scored 90th minute equalizer. All that is needed at the moment is to make sure his stooge does not succeed him. Theodore Orji should borrow a leaf from Obi and know that no time is late to redeem your image.

Hahaha...You don't always have to comment,especially when you know you have nothing to say. You are a hater and you are hating Anambra people because you can't be like us,sadly! You can never be an Omanbala boy ! Propagate all the lies you want about Obi but you will never change the intimidating and groundbreaking Obi's achievement,fo 8yrs. I don't even come to your Imo thread but you are always here obsessing about Umu-Omanbala. Have some pride,for Godsake...danm!

kofoshi:

Is a lie! Show us links to where she backed down to any lady or called mods for rescue.

Seriously,how long have you been here ? Why don't you build a mind of your own,instead of playing a groupie to a human like desola ? Somebody without respect nor honor on nl !

Some people are desperate for attention that they will go to any extent just to get it . You are wasting your time with a deranged underachiever whose only pride comes from deriding people who are obviously better than her.

Interesting thread; And by the way,I never believed that one about the Bantus. Any dumbhead can tell it was made up by Ayanle just to deride the Bantus. Dude is sick...
