Odenigbo Aroli: You see what happens when you disrespect your father is you get disciplined and discipline can come in different forms. Just because i am an Nri decendant doesnt mean you owe me gratitude but we must learn how to humble ourselves and accept the truth. Do you know that Yoruba didnt have anything like days of the week,months of the year like Igbo do. Without Nri your forefathers will just be like these Yorubas. Benin kingdom used Nri week days and the Ikenga deity was worshipped by both Uhrobo,Bini,Aro and Igala. Swallow your pride and at least pay homage to Nri. All these your fellow southern Igbo who are here running their fingers has used Nri as a beacon of pride whenever they are ridiculled by tribalists from other tribe how would they now come and tried to neglet nor denigrate her. Imagine telling an Igbo history and begins with Aro masqurade. It brings shame to Igboland because Aro has a bad reputation and is not really known for their deep history nor their cultural flamboyance

NRI PRIEST: The four Igbo market days is an Nri invention,the Ufiejioku/Iwaji/Ili ji are all Nri inventions. You don't wear a red hat but people from Abia do and even in Anambra not everybody wears the red hat. There are Nri settlements in Delta,Enugu and even northern Imo. And please I'm not a SUPREMACIST ! I am just saying that you southern Igbo should recognize the greatness of Nri and the pride it has given the Igbo and respect her. Take Nri out of the Igbo nation and the Igbo is nearly left without culture. Nwata kwochaa aka osolu ogalanya lie ife!

Ojiofor: Glad you said 99% of Anambra communties or does Anambra now equals to Igboland?for your information in my area of Igboland we don't know and do not have any kind of your so called Nri influence be it cultural or political.So you can keep your so called influence within Anambra.If I may ask you, what influence does Nri/Eri have on people of old Bende division?Enough of your spremacist propaganda.Funny' we should be grateful for giving us red cap,sorry my father didn't wear them neither did my forefathers and I am not wearing one cos we dont do ur Nze na Ozo stuff so there is ain't nothing to be grateful for.

NRI PRIEST: Don't wanna ridicule your thread but you will do well if you title it "Culture of the Aro-Igbo". [b]This isn't Nri culture [/b]even though you tried to subtly add a bit of it to make it look like what its not. Dude,change the danm title because Aro isn't PURE Igbo!

ACM10: Fajuyi had a reason to die. There was a seminar organised in Ibadan prior to the coup. Almost all the participants in that coup attended the seminar. The coupist therefore concluded that the coup was planned in that seminar. So they marked every attendees for elimination. Fajuyi was part of that seminar. I would have loved to talk more on this topic, but I travelled to Ibadan. Could not go with my laptop. I have to post with my phone. But the fact remains that Fajuyi did not die for Ironsi.

Noiseless2: In that case he is now known as an ex-anti-Igbo convict, the fact that the electoral commision has convicted him before of acts against the community he is trying to contest for their leadership has onece again won the fight for the people against flat down.

It will be irresponsible for an electoral commitee to ignore his crimes against the people, he claimed His Exellency General Emeka Ojukwu has been buried which we all know is the fact, and he has also made peace with the dead, but one thing for sure is he hasn't made peace with us the children who are still alive.

If he wasn't convicted and thrown out before due to his offense then he would still qualify, but because was convicted after a fair trial so he already has a criminal record,
and with him haven been convicted in an electoral commitee court of law, and as a result has a crminal record then it is crystal clear there are certain positions which such offender cannot be allowed to hold and this, and the leadership is one of them.

Ngwakwe: We need Onlytruth back in our fold before further deliberations.

For maximum impart, how do we create the awareness of our search for a new Eze.

Afam4eva, can we get a thread posted on the front page to this effect.

Our progress is a task that must be achieved.

Ndigbo will definitely get their fair share of the National Cake and consequently take their seat in the comity of Nations.

manny4life: I know we don't need an absent Eze, but my people, if there's anything I've learned, it's exercising patience and above all, caution. Anyi bu ndi igbo, and onwelu usoro ndi igbo si eme ife, I'm not making excuses but I'm saying patience and caution. Eze is too early in his term for us to decide he's literally absentee. For the cause we ndi igbo represent, let's exercise patience.
