My bad! Maybe 'Inyo gwee' is not used in Ogidi town, but i'm very sure of Obosi and Ojoto. My granny is from Obosi and she uses 'inyo gwee' up to this day to mean 'have u returned?'. I'm interested in knowing some typical Ogidi words that other Idenmili towns dont use.

I agree with you that there are some words that are exclusive to each town in Idenmili but I dont wanna hurriedly believe Ogidi dont use "inyo gwee". I will like to know if you grew up in Ogidi and how old where you when you left. Myself was born in Jos but I was mostly raised in Benin and Lagos,though I spent sometime in Umuoji and thats how I get to understand some of core Umuoji dialects.

Any updates on week 8&9 fixures ?

Core Idenmili:
Gini bu afa i = What's ur name?
Ichogo ili nni kita = Do you want to eat now?
I jero afia? = You didnt go to the market?
Asili asogbue i = You like gossip
Nwanne onwero ife na eme = Bro, nothing is happening
Bunye m oche afu = Give me that chair
Inyo gwee? = Have u returned?
Isisigo/Isichago nni = Have u finished cooking?
Iga afu ife nma eme i = You'll see what i'll do to u

Just wondering where you are from in Idenmili,if at a ll you are from there; Reason:"inyo gwee",this is nothing but core Umuoji spoken mostly by the aged folks. The modern set dont use that phrase anymore! Tell me how much you know about the GREAT IDENMILI!

Highlife will not die but will assume a new form!

I see the Omo n'oba as a man of prestige but the way he spoke about the Igbos was too razz and it made me question his substance as a KING !!

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=866064.msg10151861#msg10151861 date=1328721411]The Ikwerre people are not Igbos, period.  Right from about the 16th century, the Igbo has been in touch with Ikwerre (through slave trade, Arochuku activities, goods trading, hiring of labour for farm work, marriages and politics) and had always wanted to dominate, colonise and take over Ikwerre at all cost and by all means possible.

This is natural especially where the dominated people (Ikwerre) are better endowed than the colonising power (Igbo), coupled with the ever tendency of a bigger group to swallow a smaller one and whenever the latter refuses, the former resorts to cheap propaganda. That is exactly what people like Naijaking are probably are bent on doing to Ikwerre, here on NL.

We are watching you people and your misinformation will be exposed once identified.[/quote]Your hateful mind will not give you any space to reason like you arent a northern latrin sniffing ABOKI!!
Do your research thoroughly before you start exposing ur unequalled ignorance.

Leave them alone please! If they wan be mongolians let them be! Ikwerre is a very small group that cannot stand the test of time!

Shymex,are you done ? Now run back into the bush and keep eating grass till i say STOP!

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=862912.msg10145459#msg10145459 date=1328648520]Its a good thing you recognize that because Ibos have been living in Lagos since the time of Ojuku father. . . and then Zik came in and then more of you came in. . . .yet, Lagos rulership has never been in ibo hand.   Yoruba has been governor, Midwesterner has been governor, Midbelt has been governor, Northerner has been governor. . . . . but ibo, the chief financier and group that bankroll the economy (as you put it) has never been in power.  

what does that tell you?   You are a looser!   Peple that dont have property or finance Lagos are ruling over you.  Arent you ashamed?[/quote]It saddens me that Igbos dont really understand the capacity of their POWER!! We dont need to be in the government house before we can dictate policy of the government nor control economic and political ideologies!! Thats why I called you bunch a grass eating goats!! In America,people know the financial muscle of the Jewish folks and know that they play important role in Americas government policy making,yet,they are prolly the smallest yet everybody fears them!! You have no brains at all!! Fashola your papa knows this; Igbos are determined to hijack lagos not culturally but economically!!

Do you actually think yorubas will ever regain ownership of lagos ??
Keep dreaming!! You think Igbos will fold their hands and watch you while you claim the wealth they sweated all through their life to acquire ??  You are in for the shock of your life!!

Nri priest is here! Some dreamers said I ran off!! I left because of the respect I have for the EZE-IGBO and the OP and not because of some street urchin by the name niggaar nuts!!

Onlytruth:
I feel a need to explain to my Igbo brothers that I have not read anywhere here on this thread where any Igbo is claiming Edo, or trying to imply that we need Edo for anything. It is almost laughable to even make that conclusion.
Some of you need to understand Nigerian political scenario properly, especially to learn how not to cede alliances and territories where you don't need to.
As far as I know, Edo people remain neutral and some of them would lean Eastwards if push comes to shove. I really don't want to talk more on this.

Oba Erediauwa is a leader and so may even have been quoted out of context, but even if he meant what that quote said, isn't the shame on him? Wouldn't intelligent folks in Edo dissociate from him and that quote? My main point is that I have learned enough of Nigeria's history to never cede my ground even in the North, talk less of Southern Nigeria.
Currently in southern Nigeria, the ONLY group I wouldn't want to associate much with is the Yoruba. It is not a mark of weakness, but a mark of strength!
Shaka Zulu said that "a leopard is a strong animal, but if he is offered wings, he would be a fool to refuse."  
Isolationism will not aid us much in Nigeria. We have to learn how not to lose focus on the bigger picture, basically side stepping minor irritations and distractions.

Here I stand!  

EZEIGBO,ekenelum gi nke nnukwu. . . Kam bia debezia mma na ana!

PhysicsQED:
^^^^^^

Nobody in Benin is even thinking about you. Go back to wherever you came from and stay there. If not that Oba Erediauwa had worked in the eastern region for over a decade and seen firsthand why the non-Igbos there that disliked Igbos disliked them and how this played out in the run up to the civil war, you would not even have anything to be complaining about. Was he supposed to write that in the eastern region, before the civil war, everything was merry and blissful between all Igbos and non-Igbos even when that wasn't the truth and there was a specific reason for their complaints?

When the Midwest tried to break away from the West, "impending economic colonization" wasn't really given as one of the major reasons. When the COR state was proposed on the other hand. . .

I thought you are one of the ppl here who is supposed to be unbiased ??
You Ignorant Oba Erediauwa opened his mouth and said Igbo will do just about any job to make money!! Is this character exclusive to the Igbos ?? Which kind of Oba be this one ?? Is he not supposed to make his research before he comes out to speak in the public ?? Is he not aware that his Benin women and men are scatered all over Europe selling their pu.z.z.y and drugs respectively?? I guess that didnt count cause they arent Igbos!! You Great Oba said Igbos will take a job nobody wants ? Including yahoo yahoo,ashawoliness,drug pushing ??

PhysicsQed, just accept that Erediauwa spoke too soon and ignorantly and this case will be closed !!

I am waiting for all you Great Benin defenders; Bring it on lets see who has substance!! I haved lived in Benin and I know their insecurities! People give these bunch more credits than they deserve thats why a Benin person will start developing superiority complex!! Who born their mama
And for those wey say "bad belle",bad belle for what exactly? Please explain to me! What does Benin have that might have caused me to hate on them?? For your info;I am an Anambra Igbo kpomkwem! We dont envy nor jealous ppl rather we find a way to beat them at their own backyard!! Ask the IGNORANT OBA EREDIAUWA The man is scared of the Igbos!!

jason123:
It is spelt ITSEKIRI (THERE IS NO "H". As there is a "g" in Igbo not Ibo. Thank you!
This is no insult, this is a fact! If anything, the Binis influenced the Western Igbo! Haba! I have never heard an Emeka or Uche as an indigene of Edo state (there may be but I have not heard) but I have heard Balogun, Tunde, Dele etc, I have also heard an Ose, Osa, Omo, etc as Yoruba! Make una clam down with the claims! This is one of the reasons why I would always advocate for Southern Nigeria! As to prevent a crazy war because I know if there is a war among southerners, IT WILL BE THE WAR TO END ALL WARS!!!
The Igbos will not want to give up (read up on the Biafra war and the Arochukwu). The Yorubas also have there pride to keep (read up on the Fulani wars against a single Yoruba clan, not the whole race o! and the Kiriji war). The SS would remain neutrals, an attempt by individuals to hijack our goodwill in the SS will be strongly resisted!

This is Oba of Benin speaking:

Do I expect you to say otherwise ? My answer is NO!
Is this who call an OBA? A pig is better than OBA AKENZUA!! If my king speaks about a very respected as NDIGBO like this I will apologise on his behalf and write the palace!! He sounded nothing more like those agberos in NEW BENIN!! Royal father my doggs a.s.s. .

Let me make myself more clear here; Any Igbo person who is trying to tie us or our culture to that of 20,000 population of Benin is an OSU !!
Anambra Igbos look down on Benin and its Cultures!! Oba Akenzua is a father to multitudes of Benin W.H.O.R.E.S plying their trade in Italy!!
Any Igbo man that claims Benin blood lineage is an OSU!!
I trust the current Eze Nri; He will never stoop so low as the level Akenzua got to!!

All I want is an all Igbo speaking nation; No freaking Edo groups,no non Igbo speaking Deltas,no Ijaw,no Ekoi groups,no Ogoni with their abundant oil,no Ikwerre if they so desire,no Ngwa if they want out,no Onicha if they will move to Benin!! Lets stay in Our landlocked land if so be it !! Look how Oba Akenzua disrespected Igbos and to think that you(Igbos) all ignored that and kept arguing who and who has ties with Benin was heartbreaking!! Who are the Benin for us to be discussing them What does one gain by associating self with them Benin knows that they are a nonentities in the Nigerian power tussle!!!
Every Nigerian wants to insult Igbos including some Ngwas,Ikas,calabars,itshekiris,Ilajes and so. . .What is our offense ?? Answer; we are industrious and we seem to survive anywhere we go!! Well,they try to be like us but its not working cus they dont have the BLESSINGS  that come with being IGBO!!!

Let me correct some people around here: you can never compare the lesser know Nri kingdom to the more known Benin kingdom; Nri didnt have a military front,they never saw any reason to fight nor intimidate any body,selling of SLAVES were forbidden in Nri and all the the smaller kingdoms that followed its belief,religion and customs.

ChinenyeN,listen carefully here: 90% of all the slaves sold by the Igbos were done by the southern Igbos like Aros,Abam ppl and co. The northern Igbos were never ever involved in selling of slaves as it was forbidden by the Nri kingdom which was the center of religious and ideological power in the then Nri kingdom and its affiliates. . . But we had some northern Igbos who were ambushed in their farms,kidnapped and sold into slavery against their wish or the wish of their ppl. . .So,get ur facts right!

As for Weather Benins are culturally closer to the Yorubas nor Igbos here is my take as somebody who has lived and mingled with both Benins and Yorubas; linguistically,Bini has ties to the East just as well as to the west but one thing is very clear; The Bini ppl will get along better with Igbos and dont ask me why. . . They the Binins see the Igbos as very responsible group!! Maybe its because of their(Igbos)  sucesses in business.
This brings me to the HATEFUL comments made against the Igbos by Oba Akenzua; This man is a decedant of a lineage which thrived in selling of his fellow human being!! Why am I not surprised His  comments reeks of HATE,IGNORANCE,INFERIORITY COMPLEX,WEAKNESS and DEEP ROOTED JEALOUSY which 99% of all Nigerian groups have for the Igbo man but its shameful that this is coming from the king of a kingdom which some Anioma Igbo groups claim they came from and from a Royal father. . .Am very sure that EZE-NRI will never call Benin wome ASHAWO,MONEY HUNGRY,ITALLO PROSTITUTES and am sure he will not call their men 419ers nor occultic even though public opinion suggest so!!

And for those who is calling Igbos attachee; my question is what does Igbos have to gain if we anex Benin which its population is not even up to 500,000?? Oh,I remenber,if Oba of Benin declares cultural ties with Igbos we will become famous than them,we will become Nigerias president,white man will bow for us,we will become part of their cherished royal blood line,they will give us more class. . .ehm. . .ehm. . .ehm,what else I remenber. . .Oba Akenzua will  stop eating  my Dog shhiit!!!

You people get energyooo. . . yesterday a thread was created about the Anambra Igbos who were killed by the boko hare HUMAN BLOOD LICKERS and to my utmost amazement the thread barely reached 3 pages but. Look at these one that was created by a know bigot and Igbo hater(niggaar nuts) ,it already on 11 pages !! Chukwu onye ebele bia fichaa Umu-Igbo anya mmili!!
Dont you guys get it ?? Yorubas hate Igbos with every single strenght in there guts!! Some may ask why would yorubas hate Igbos soooo much. . .well,1; Igbos after the GENOCIDE they surffered in the hands of hausa/fulani,middlebelt,yorubas,Britain and the rest of the world community that assited them to wreck havoc on the blessed children of MOST HIGH  didnt just sit down and mop,complain and cry but rather they put it behind them and achieved something that make ppl likened them to the jews!! I have no problem with an hausa man except their role in the GENOCIDE against my ppl. 2;the yoruba man is very scared vb of the Igbos because of their zeal and determination to acquire wealth any place they can find it on earth including their precious Lasgidi and might just wake up one day and to find out that they have become nonentity in the place they once called homeland!! 3; Igbos dont care much about party even though they have the dough in excess to throw around and the yoruba man doest like it at all tha why they call us "eli eli"(a stingy person in Anambra dialect).
They the yoruba hate us,they hate us,they hate us,they Zap.i.n.g hate our industrious qualities!! They hate us cause they are not like us and which they were!!

My heart is very heavy, but I cant go and start murdering innocent northerners who are just as innocent as these my beloveth brethren murdered by boko harem in the name of their god. . . . I hope the whole world is watching this!! God will avenge for us!!
Chukwu bi n'igwe bia biko nulu alili umu gi,mkpu akwa fa na anya mmili fa. . .obi agbawaam!!

Look at Alhaji_harem saying Igbo ppl are envious of yarrikbu folks!! Laugh wan kill me for work.
Give one reason why a whole Igbo man will envy yarrikbu ppl!!
Abeg comot for road make living ppl pass.

May almighty God forgive them of their sins and accept their gentle souls in heaven; As for boko harem,our vengeance will come from heaven!!

Stop peddling foolish lies about. Was it not Adaka boro that block your access to sea and starved you?

Mr,why are you calling me a liar ??
Did  Adaka Borro not take orders from his Nigerian Gov. masters ?
Did he come up with the idea to starve the Biafrans ?
Did he have any choice ?
Wasnt he gonna be killed if he had sympatized nor refuse to fight for Nigeria?
Answer these question and we will continue from there.

Seriously,you need to stay the Bleep away from my post you devils handwork!!
You are a cursed man and these curses will follow ur generations to come!! You are the ones that wanted one Nigeria so bad,today,these are what you get!! Every Nigeria group that contributed to the GENOCIDE commited against my ppl will get their fair share of reward from almighty God!!!
Its just gonna take sometime; keep watching cus what goes around comes around. . .hehehe

Have you finished mocking the Igbos about how ur ppl massacrered them ?
About how our women were rapped by ur dirty northerners and got massacrered !!
About how our innocent children were slaughtered and died of kwashiorko ?
About the greatness of awolawo for suggesting the starve tactics ??

Almighty God will punish and torment you till you die!!

My name is Onlytruth, and I endorse this message.    

Eze-Igbo, ekenelum gu rinne. . .okwa Igbo sili na asokata eze anya ekpulu nkata na isi gwia okwu!
I was born in plateau,my mother and her siblings were born in sabongari,kano. My grandfather was a cathecist and a primary school headmaster in kano before the GENOCIDE commited against Ndigbo by  blood thirsty notherners and their yarribu slaves.my father speaks fulani,hausa and some middlebelt dialect in jos. My grandmother was murdered in cold blood in kano during the GENOCIDE in front of her children,five of my uncles were murdered in cold blood by the hausa/fulani blood thirsty muslem animals! I have lived in the North,Southwest,Midwest and now here. I have experinced all kinds of Nigerians and its in the light of my knowledge of lots of Nigerian group that I learnt that most of them are envious,jealous and resents us deeply!!!! The only problems with the north is illitracy,religious fanatism,poverty. If not for these I can confidently tell you that northerners are very goog ppl!!!
The only ppl you have to watch out for are the YARRIBA hausa slaves;they are bunch of weak backstabbers!!! Very treacherous and betraying bloodline of ppl!!
My point is we can not fold our hands and let ppl destroy the quality life we have built for ourselves,while we just endure and start allover again!!
Like I said if you ever abandon your property and run because of boko harem then you are a useless goat!!
Arm urself and fight back. We all gonna die oneday,anyway.

Any Igbo man who abandons,sells his property at a lesser prize in order to flee the north is a big fool !! Nobody holds monopoly to violence!
1. Relocate you wives and children to the east.
2. Arm youself to the teeth and make sure you can kill 200 boko haren/hausa fulani fools.
3. Watch where you go and who is around you.
4.dont always take same route when you go to places.
5. Surveilance! Surveilance!! Surveilance!!!
6.  Be vigilance cus they will attack when you least expect.
7. Stop going to places that attract them.
8.tint your car if you have one and try to dress like most northeners until further notice.
9. Avoid speaking when ppl are around cus you might be identified!!
10. Do not abandon your investment; make sure you get about 100 of them before they kill you!!

I speak to you my fellow Igbos; Do not abandon your hard earned properties and run!! If you run now you will always be running for them.
They(hausa/fulani) received weapons and personnel from British to fight us,the yarribus betrayed us for them and joined them to us! And today you want us to leave our investment and run away ? Any Igbo man who abandons his properties for the fear of boko harem is a WEAKLIN!!!

And for the yarribus I am waiting for the day you guys will pull a gun and challenge us to a fight !!! Guess what there will be no Hausa/fulani and middlebelt to fight for you,there will not be British to supply you weapons!! I pray for that day and after that we can now figure who owns lagos, !!!
I dont give a f. .u. .c. .k if I die by a fulani mans sword the next hour!!
