For all this useless people that do not want to face their own problem, OJUKWU did not run away like your useless people made u to believe, he simply left, and he left 4 the love he had 4 his people. I once listened to effiong spoke about the war. The interviewer asked him, why ojukwu ran away at that stage of the war, but he said,    No he dint run away he left. U knw ppl say things for a reason best knwn to them. When pressure was on us to surrender, we sat down, discussed and came to conclusion that ojukwu had to leave for the sake of our ppl, ojukwu was ready to fight to death, but seeing the ppl in hardship he accepted to leave. We told him to leave because if he was to go and sign the surrender of our ppl, there will be a great percentage of him being a target 4 murder, and if that happen the war could have taken a different dimension, but i have small percent because i wasent the head of state, but i was dengerous but i had to do it 4 our ppl, it was wat our ppl agreed on.

Thanks for this,bro. Ikemba didnt chicken out!!

This is really getting out of control; Please Igbos,leave the north now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I smell BLOODSHED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I beg you guys in the name of the lord,please leave the north now!!!!

@ NRI PRIEST, I don't think Idemili is a dialect on its own because what you speak is what almost everyone along Njikoka and Anaocha areas speak.

You are very correct but I didnt mention those areas because I dont have have a thorogh understanding of their dialects. Idenmili,Onitsha,Njikoka,Oyi,Dunukofia,Ogbaru,Aguatta,Anaocha,Ayamelum and Anambra lga and some other lga I cant remenber now speak a very similar Igbo dialects; Nnewi,Ihiala,Ekwulobia,Awka and Orumba speak something very different from the group I mentioned earlier. Enuani Igbo in Delta also speak something very intelligible to the first group I mentioned with some difference.

If you cant take my last name we probably never ever gonna get married and I will not accept any  SUBVERSIVE daughter in-law tHat will not my family name.
Chics that I hang with know the rule.
Think about it this way; if your wife keeps her name,what name will the kids take ? Well, I guess the fathers and now one family will have different names Not gonna happen in my household which I am the head.
Truth is that there are females that needs to be left alone; women that doesnt wanna be under any man. You cant eat your cake and have it back; hilary clinton,michel obama and many other inteligent women kept their husbands name and they love it.

There is an Igbo adage that says; Di bu ugwu nwanyi(husband is the pride of his wife). Taking your husbands name is part of showing him respect and being loyal to him, and if you as a woman doesnt have that orientation from your parents then I will advice you to go ahead and keep dating cause you will never make it in marriage.

You are very funny. When did christianity reach Ndokiland? Talkless of having a bible?

Isuama Bible is the first Bible in Igbo, though the 'isuama' used was a messed-up Pidgin Isuama spoken by Sierra-loenean Igbos who had lost touch with their motherland for long periods.

This your Isuama Igbo bible,was it written based on the dialects of the Isuamas who were residing in Nigeria at the time of the said translation?
Was this your Isuama Igbo bible written on the little knowledge of some few Isuamas who were sold into slavery and moved to the coast of siera-leon,who must have mixed their Igbo with other existing languages in the slave camp,hence,making that Igbo impossible for those in the hinterland to recognize nor read it ?
Again,was this your Isuama Igbo bible used in Igbo land,and if so,where and where was it used ?
Have you read the Isuama Igbo bible ?
How come the the Igbo I was taught to read the bible in,cathecism books in,hynm books in,all the catholic booklets in where mostly the same Igbo my parents spoke to me in(Idenmili/Onicha dialects). How come the Igbo bible which my late grand mother(Iyom Oyagulu) who died in 1991 at 83yrs  had wasnt written in the UNION IGBO nor the ISUAMA IGBO.  Note; the old bible has been in my house for over 40yrs before her death!! How come I never  come across this Isuama Igbo bible nor the Union Igbo version?

odumchi:
What difference does it make? Whether Idemilli, Ika, Onicha or Isuama does it really matter? As long as it's Igbo. O'boy, this household rivalry is getting boring.

Odumchi, firstly I am a die hard Igbo and it reeks from my pores,hence, I have no intention nor a reason to create division among my Igbo brothers, mana onye fu eziokwu nya kwue ya. I am sure if I come here and say Anambra/Enugu Igbo was the Igbo used in writting the Igbo dictionary somebody will quickly correct me.

I mean Mbatuku and not Toshman.

mbatuku2:
Is Isu/Isuama a dialect of Igbo or a clan name? I heard the first Bible in Igboland was an Isuama Bible. How come no one mentioned it?

The first Igbo bible was written in Isuama Igbo ?? Where did you get that from and what does Isuama Igbo sound like
The other day somebody said it was Ndoni Igbo that was first used to write the bible !!! I will not say anything until I hear my brethren responses regarding TOSHMAN'S post.

Oh. Sorry dear,join the boat.

Are you from Awkuzu ?

Sorry Sissy I didnt check your sex before I . . .

Bros, am not from there but I know a lot of ppl from there and we usually call them "Awkuzu oka na uzu"

mbatuku2:
Really, brother. lol.

I hope they leave our ngwaland alone. We are distinct enough.

Mister, I dont know if you are joking or not; I wil love for the federal government to create some more ethnic groups,so that clans like Ngwa,Ika and any other group who as much as little ever denied being Igbo can have their own ethnic group. In doing this we might have trimmed down ourselves and arrive at conclusion at who and who is Igbo. Even if its only Anambra,Imo,Enuani,Enugu,Ebonyi and parts of Abia that stood up boldly and called themselves Igbos I will be more than proud to know that we have ppl who we didnt have to tell what makes them Igbos. Ezi oyi ka ajo nwanne.

Umunnem, merry christmas to you all; I wish I can throw a christmas party for you guys but we are in different places.
Ka onye nwe anyi nonyelu unu na oge emume ekeresimesi.

Christmas in my home town of Umuoji-Idenmili is a wonderous experience!!
The 24th night vigil,the knocks and lightnings,the 25th morning tomatoes stew with lots of meat,the slaughtering of cows,the masqurades that comes out on 25th evening which me and my cousins used to participate in; Chrismas in my hometown is an experience to behold!! In the morning of the 26th masqurade with canes(mmuo npia osisi) comes out in droves wipping ppl who doesnt wanna run,taking gifts of money from ppl. Wow, I wanna go home and see my fatherland once more!!

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=829137.msg9806224#msg9806224 date=1324416322]A business needs an accomodating and vibrant market receptive to its offers. The two - business and market - become a dynamics that preserves success and buoyancy to exchange and relations.

I therefore want to say that Igbo business is successful because the markets in which such successes are readily evident were also instrumental and are therefore worthy of acknowledgment and recognition. This market relevance can be best evaluated by comparing against them against markets that closed itself and blocked the spread of the new enterprise, therefore resulting in slow growth for Igbos.

If your success is high in West and North, far higher than it is in East, then you also have Yorubas and Hausas to thank for partnering with you and creating the dynamics that gave you that outgrowth, but you need to review the conditions in your own homeland for why the dynamics are not working for you as greatly.[/quote]Cheap attention seeking OLODO! Who stopped you guys from trading and investing into other areas since you own the most vibrant market. Have you forgetten our ppl were enviously and brutally murdered by the Nigerian government and their British slave masters over the fact that we dont wanna be in one country with you lots
Instead of you to acknowledge that IGBOS pass man you dey here dey fight your inferiority complex!! You guys think you will just come and run us down and think we will be down forever,too bad. We are just getting started; I admonish every Igbo man and woman not to forget to tell their children the atrocities the British slave masters used the north and YORUBAS TO COMMIT ON THE IGBOS!!

Freed, what a fantastic article!! I have always thought Igbos were specially made ppl by God. When I think of the kind of institutions we created and operate,the words we use and how it reflects into our life,our inventions that other tribes dont have like months and days of week and more.
Indeed Igbos are culturally hefty tribe. Nwa di Igbo mma kenelu unu ncha.

Nwanne, I feel you on that one mana I ga eti-eti gbakwaa agbaa ?
Not worst part is the Ikwerre ppl who has done everything possible show that they arent Igbos but every research that has been carried out clearly shows they are Igboid people. But I believe the day will come when everybody will answer their fathers name. It shows me how weak some people can be!

Please,leave Bonny ppl alone. . . A lot of them have have came out and boldly denied any relation with the Igbos. I feel very very embarassed whenever these ppl denounce us and spit on the hand of brotherhood we extended to them. Leave them alone because they will not be denying their Igboness if they are trully Igbos.

Odumchi, stop censoring my words!!
F, u, ck !!

Let it go boy. . . You have always sounded like someone with a lot of hatred and animosity toward your own people. . .And thats why you call them names !! Every Igbo here knows you very much and we know whats your problem. You might not like me but I dont dislike you,at least not anymore. What I dislike are your views,intermittently. You need to start loving yourself,child. You are too serious for a 22yrs old boy!! You need to calm the f.uck down.

ChinenyeN:
Is something wrong with you? Why are you acting foolishly? Look, I may not like you, but I would never mock your Idenmili. I may not bow to your Nri, but I wouldn't go around mocking your society. Child of Nri, you have a serious problem, and this will be the last time I will be civil with you, if you decide to continue your bullshit.

Is that what dadd asked you to post this morning ? hahaha!! Ochi Ngwa hnwnwe atogbugom hia!!
If you suddenly want to be a civilized boy you wouldnt insult somebody b4 telling them you will soon become uncivil with them. You dont know the High Priest very well; I have watched you insult and ridicule your fellow brethren here but they have always treated you with leniency bearing in mind how sensitive and insecure you are! I will suggest you re-evaluate that bias orientation you are getting from whomever. For all I could remenber even b4 I joined nairaland you have been acting uncivilized with your Igbo brothers. Danm it,even the yorubas here once likened you to an OSU!!I have been trying my very best to accomodate you here in the Igbo midst but you remained unrully. Igbo sili na obu onye nwanne ya na agba ajo egwu na atabi iku anya.
Like I said earlier,run to daddy because he will definitelly give you some Ngwa ghnwe answers. Anu npama!!

ChinenyeN:
This is actually the reason I asked.

I am sure if you go to your dadd he will be able to tell you the early achievements of SDA in Ngwa hnwe land.

Idenmili/Umuoji dialect.
Inyo gwee=are you back?
I natago=are you back?
I batago=are you back?
Nlecha =flaunt
ngala=pride

Andre Uweh:
May God grant you your wishes. Do you have some Igbo names in mind for the kids to come?.

Thanks alhaji and may you equally receive your heart desires from the Almighty Olisaebuluwa.
As for the names I intend to give to my unborns,well, I have a pool of them.
Males; Ikeolisa= power of God. Ugwunna=fathers pride. Nwaolisa=Gods child. Chielotam=God has remenbered me. Plus more.
Females; Nwakaego= A child is greater than wealth. Ebubechukwu=The greatness of God. Obianuju=peaceful arrival. Amumachukwu= lightnings of God. And please alhaji, do not steal any of these name and go give it to. . . .

Child,whenever I try to read your Igbo I get brain crack.lol

ChinenyeN:
Yes, ohnuhnu officially means any and all things non-Ngwa.
Who says I can't? I could, but it's not going to be easy explaining to someone who has never heard it when it's spoken. Basically, you would never understand how I could or why I would write that. The only thing that would result from my explanation would be you turning around to try to explain to me how to write my own tongue. I'd know, because I've already gone through it before with your fellow ohnuhnu like 006, Udezue and Obiagu; this exact same 'gh' topic, in fact.
Think about it. Why would you write Idenmili in an Igbo thread? Hm?

Ole boy, i really dont wanna be hard on your poor soul! If you know that nobody can read your precious Ngwa dialet,why bother to write it here?
i write in Idenmili/Onicha axis Igbo  because its a common Igbo that  was originally used to write the first Igbo bible and church books and thats the Igbo I was first taught in right from Catholic block rosary evening prayers.  Most Igbos  here can read my writings in Igbo,except for odumchi who stated I was writing in ''pieces''.  But I can understand him because  most Anambra Igbo dialets are not very heavy. You need to calm your little nerves the Bleep down!

The day my wife(when I get married) will give birth I will unlock the the bank and throw a big party.

I cant wait to experience the birth of my first child! I will hold the baby up and give hiim/her a heavenly Igbo name.
