He faced no harassment, no stigma, no hatred, no stereotypes, and no ostracism. Abia State and the entire Igbo people remain a testament to unity and resilience. God bless them all.

Go to the facebook page you will see Abians congratulating him and wishing him well.

Umuinyioku:
You haven't seen anything.

Self-determination is enshrined in United Nations Charter. So,why the fuss about Biafran self determination?

There is different between peaceful self determination agitators and criminals terrorist masquerading as agitators.
The government is killing terrorist not self determination agitators..They deserves our support.

Just for the records to those who says Igbos are not accomodating when they never set foot outside their home town.

Some one came to Abia State for NYSC.
Was employed into Abia civil service.
He worked and grew to the level of a permanent secretary.
There is need for a new Head of service.
After the interview he was the best suited for the position.
So he should not be the head of service because he is from Edo ?
Congratulations 🎉 Mr. Benson Ojeikere.
Gov. Alex C. Otti has grown grown beyond tribal sentiments.

Which organisation arrested the spitter? Was it the Yoruba or Israeli law enforcement officers that arrested the Israeli that did that?

Who arrested Awolowo after he starved 3 million Igbo children to death? Nobody.

If they can spit on Ethiopia child and call them animals I wonder what they will do to these set of people who are as black as Senegalese abokis
They will shit on their charcoal looking faces. .
Good luck to Nri and Eri Jews.

At least they respect the fact that Eastern Nigeria are not muslims and did not color it green.

Why color Ethiopia nad Ghana green?They are not muslim countries.

SoftSport:
Where is the lie? Explain.

Ghana colored in green an islamic nation?

Well done naija soldiiers.....Make southeast great again....delete the terrorist from our land.

Ojiofor:
The Aguleri Jew wannabes should take note.

Ofoigbo

EmperorCaesar:
For the muslims na

I thought its an initiative from the State Govt sef, didnt know its a mini establishment for some muslims in Oyo state

Yorubas dey always amaze me, most G.O of the biggest churches in Africa are Yorubas, SW Islamic scholars are also from the SW

Talk about a group so liberal they made they have almost equal numbers of muslime and Christian members....Not just any Nation could boast of so much dynamism and Liberalism

Do not worry na small small muslims will make sharia law a state law in Oyo state and if they have their way sharia will cover the whole of Nigeria.Trust muslims at your own peril.

The Aguleri Jew wannabes should take note.

mrvitalis:
Makes no sense by Constitution traditional rulers own 5% of local government allocations... So why place them on salary

What is the norm in other states?
Does traditional rulers in Imo state get 5% of local government allocations?

OfoIgbo:
Falasha Jews of Ethiopia also practice female circumcision, and they are still considered Jews.

It is also clear your knowledge of Omenana is limited, otherwise you would have known that Igba nkwa and Onwa asato, encapsulate all the major practices of the Passover feast. Go and upgrade yourself before you jump on o this argument.

Now some other villages may even have Oye or Afor as their days of rest. The point being that their is always a day of rest.
Yorubas don't have a day of rest. So clearly Igbos have a Shabbat concept, just like the Jews. For Jews, it is Saturday and not Eke or Afor

The problem you people have is to assume your village culture to be Igbo culture in general no it is not.
That is how you proclaimed EKE to be general resting day or market day across Igboland.
Yes I will never understand your concocted Igbrew Omenala that is not Omenala Igbo.

wirinet:
Sorry jare. I thought you are one of them making all kinds of claims without any proof.
Imagine showing a colour photograph of Eze Nri Òbalíke, someone wearing an embroidered cotton fabric that died in 1936 as proof of Nri civilisation being 4000 years old. Even in the US colour photograph was not common in the 30s. Most photos of world War 11 were in black and white.

If you look at the photo of Eze Nri Òbalíke closely you will see pattern on the wall superimposed on the right shoulder, showing clearly that the photo was photoshopped.

There is original picture of that man which is in black and white however the man was a chief priest not actually a king.

wirinet:
Any of your claims. Start by showing us academic papers claiming Nri is the Oldest Kingdom in Nigeria.

Myself is challenging OP in some of his claims can't you read?
Ask op for proof.

wirinet:
Proof. Proof. proof. Provide academic papers thar support the claims.

Which one exactly do you need proof?

BrodaBenad:
We know homo sapiens migrated from East Africa because of archological evidence of very old sites there if we see it anywhere else we'll reconsider


if you know anywhere more ancient than Lejja sites please present it

migration always start from the place of old
outward
Scholars believe the development of farming tools was one of the reasons for migration.

Leja and Ugwueke cave in Uturu are the two most oldest sites in Igboland that I know.
Attaching every Igbo civilization to Nri is what I oppose.

BrodaBenad:
don't go to Lejja


Afikpo pottery sites are over 4000 years Ago made over 2000Bce

that's same time Abraham was alive in middle east

Igbos were making Ite Ụrọ (glazed clay pots) in afikpo


Our people can't grasp how extra ordinary those sites are

We should be proud of our heritage as a people rather than claiming to be migrants in our own land by some people.It is pathetic.

BrodaBenad:
No Igbo scholar believe in that rubbish

whites Just noted certain cultural similarities with jews and thats it


na Ipob guys popularise that nonsense


we've always been here


thus the reason for the very very wide Igbo dialects that cuts accross Enugu,Anambra,Imo, Ebonyi,Abia,Anioma(Delta State) , Ịgbanke-Igbo akriri ( Edo State) , Osekwenike(Bayelsa), Rivers, western Boundary towns in Cross river, Benue, Kogi (In Ibaji LGA, we can see some town names such as Nwajala, Umuoye, Ubulie-Umueze)

Thanks

Make I believe you but Nri have nothing to do with Leja metal site.

OfoIgbo:
Even breaking of the kolanut is not Israelite, but the core of Igbo custom is Israelite
1. Circumcisions of male babies on the eighth day
2. Passover celebrations which are uniquely Israelite. Research Igba nkwa and onwa asato
3. Keeping the Sabbath day holy. Research why Eke market day is meant to be a day of rest in traditional Igbo so ieties
4. Feast of atonement and it's similarities with Ikpu Alu, carried out by Nri priests e.t.c

No 1,If circumcision of male child on the 8th day is Jewish custom what about female circumcision widely practised in Igboland but not in Israel? Circumcision is African culture borrow by the Jews.
No2 is false.
No3 every village have their own market day like my village our rest and market day is Orie not Eke.
No4 is African traditional religion it is not only practised in Igboland.
This is my argument,you people claim to have migrated from Israel why then is the OP attaching Nri to Lejja metal site which scientists have dated to be over 6000 years which is way older than Eri/Gad the Jewish migrants to Igboland?
Abeg make una carry una confusion seat one place.

OfoIgbo:
This claim is definitely not being made by Nri people.

Nri people are very ancient with a lot of civilising innovations that their fellow Igbo brothers and neighbouring ethnic groups have adopted.

Nri people are possibly from Israel because their culture is heavily Israelite.
That's possibly why the Jewish Rabbinical court ruled that this Levitical community ought to be recognized as Israelite Levites

Confusion everywhere,which of your Nri culture with ichi tribal marks all over the faces of your ancestors is heavily Israelite?

BrodaBenad:
We're not Jews we are blacks we are Aboriginals

thanks

Since when?
You guys from that corner of Igboland are just messing up Igbo history and culture due to greed.Now you want to claim Lejja after claiming Jewish origin.

BrodaBenad:
Origins: Migrants from Lejja, the Cradle of Metallurgy

According Many scholars Nri people could trace their ancestry to Lejja,

Una don attach una self to Lejja to claim ownership of that civilization
Nri/Eri claim to come from Israel still want to put claim to something that is way older than the Jews you people claim as your origin.

These people are just looking for trouble like a kasongo in savanah
Why didn't they write ISA as found in the Koran but they wrote Jesus .
Can they win a banner war with christians?They shouldn't start what they can not fininsh o.

Na wao for this generation.

pazienza:
Jewish population are spread all over the world.
They also had their land ransacked and their people taken away to foreign lands in different times in history where many of them stayed and assimilated with the natives and subsequently lost their identity.
The modern day Israel only came into being in 1948.
So get your stuff right and stop false comparisons.

As for Egypt, the Egypt you know in bible are not same as current Arab occupants. That Egypt is long gone .

Ijaw is a relatively new and young ethnic group.

Ijaw is still evolving into a tribe they are not even there yet.They are still trying to formulate a language of communication amongst themselves.People that sneak in through the sea can't claim to be the older than people who lives upland.

chrisxxx:
You people don't want to leave again?
We know you people know how disadvantaged you people are and wouldn't want to leave. At least 10 million of you people leave outside your homeland..That will boost Nigeria tax base as you people will start paying tax as foreigner.

Who are you people,do you mean the proscribed group by SE governors?
When the governors,senators from SE speaks I listen but you can continue to listen to faceless characters like gidgiddy.

Have MURIC released press statement over this issue of muslim rights?

AntiChristian:
Shut up! As if they posted only that banner there!
There were several banners there!

Show us where "Muhammad is not the Prophet of Allah" exist in your Bible?

What is posted exists in out Qur'an!
Tell us your problem!

As far as christians are concerned Mohammed does not exist no mention of him in the Bible.

chrisxxx:
No! We only want you people to leave.

Wishful thinking....come and make us leave

chrisxxx:
It is not these people but Nigeria. Nigeria WI come for their land.

Which Nigeria again after disintegration?
What it means is that Yoruba or Northerners will nolonger have influence in what happens outside their own regions or countries.

gidgiddy:
And keep chasing your ghost of 'one Nigeria' that has never worked since 1960

No nation have worked perfectly.Nation building is work in progress.
Even though Pakistan and Bangladish separated from India they still have serious issues while India themselves are emerging as global power even though they are still battling with muslims in Kashmir.
South Sudan fought Sudan for 24 years and after getting independence they turned their guns on each other due to black man greed for power.

chrisxxx:
Remember that Kogi that's igala own a good portion of what you call igbo land. This is also applicable to Delta State and Akwaibom. By the time these people carve out their lands you people will end up with a plot of land.

Do not worry na,we should worry about that in the future, when the time comes and the fake federation have collapsed let Igala,Bini,Nupe,Tiv,Efik etc let them come and possess their possession we shall welcome them.LOL
Everybody go know how far by then.
