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.

gidgiddy:
How will those who are feeding fat of the failed British colonial contraption called Nigeria be interested in separation? There's nothing fortunate about that

The only thing characters like the above does not understand is that the only thing guaranteed to happen on earth is change. He thinks Nigeria will continually getting worse and be together? I laugh. Nigeria is heading for no other road but disintegration.

Even you people in so called Biafra agitation are feeding fat from donations from gullible folks.
We saw what happened in DOS/IPOB after the arrest of Kanu and what is happening right now in Autopilot IPOB headed by the lady scammer known as Ngozi Orabueze.It is all about the money.You guys kidnap,rob and kill for money we know all that.
Meanwhile continue chasing the ghost of Biafra until you join your ancestors.

chrisxxx:
No with your five states no one will fight you people.

Fortunately those in charge of southeast are not interested for separation.The likes of gidgiddy and co has been proscribed in southeast so they do not speak for us.But peradventure Nigeria federation collapses tomorrow like USSR I can assure you that ndi Igbo knows their boundary the artificial boundary created by Nigeria government will also collapse but for now let us maintain the peace.

Ikenga Ugochinyere is giving Wike camp sleepless night.

IGBOPROMISE1:
Horseshit! The only terrorist sympathisers…..if not active terrorists, are you and your ilk! Your impostor ass was expected on a useless thread like this! There’s nothing that excites you Igbo-haters and impostors more than a naive and possibly daft Igbo elite either living in denial or who says what he thinks his hegemonic masters want to hear! It’s Igbo elite like this Onaga character that you love because he helps divert attention away from your evil and criminal antics against Ndigbo! See a list of the Igbo you like and who you see as ‘good and obedient slaves’: Igbokwe; ekpa (yeah. forget the pretence….you secretly love how the bastard is helping you in the narrative you want put out there about IPOB and the secessionist effort); Soludo (for throwing Peter Obi under the bus and helping you to ‘legitimise’ the mandate thief); the Mefor scumbag that became a turncoat and started working for the evil Nigerian state); who else…..yeah, Uzodinma; Umahi; and pretty much most self-hating, transactional Igbo politicians in APC! These are a few of your favourite Igbo (apologies to Maria in Sound Of Music)….Igbo who don’t want to rock the boat, shake the table, or disrupt the status-quo that has placed the Yoruba/Fulani at the top of the pecking order in ‘one Nigeria’!

Let me reiterate, even with the existence of IPOB and Mazi Kanu, Igboland was relatively safe and secure up until 2015 when Buhari, Tinubu and their coven of witches happened to us! In fact, any Nigerian who does a honest assessment of where we all are today, would readily agree that the aforementioned are nothing short of a curse to Nigeria as a whole!

Anyone wonder how insecurity worsened immidiately Nnamdi Kanu launched his murderous private army called esn which gave birth to ugm and the beginning of era of so called Biafrans killing Igbo Nigerians.
Soludo confirmed what I have been saying for the past 3 years and this Bishop have Just added his voice. You can continue denying the obvious the rest of ndi Igbo are now calling ipob without mincing words.

Bendeco02:
Though am not IPOB supporter or member. But they are not targeting civilians, their main target are military men. That's why East is still densely populated.

If IPOB are targeting Civilians, we should be seeing news like 30 killed by ESN just as bandits kills 60, 30 in a single operation in North west and Benue.

East remain the safest because ESN target was never civilians. You guys should stop the propaganda. Not that am supporting the killing of our force men.

But why not care for your region SW?

Fulani targets the masses in your region. Four kings killed so far without no one talking about it.

If you like, use Obi as your username. We all know you're not Igbo

Tell that to Soludo who said so called liberators are killing their own people.He knows what he is talking about.
The people being killed,robbed and kidnapped are they not civilians?

gidgiddy:
2024 is almost at an end and the South East has been declared the safest zone in the country.

So in the 2025, we hope that the propagandists, the liers, the decievers, the political jobbers, the 5th columnists, the Biafran haters and all those who only remember insecurity only if it affects the South East, will face their area!

Everyone has their own security challenges, but you cannot be more Catholic than the pope! You have worse crime and insecurity in your own area but you carry South East matter on your head like barrel of crude oil?

You want to sit in Kaduna, Ibadan, Makurdi, Ogbomoso, Sokoto and be solving crime in Enugu where I'm sitting? You want to tell me who did what in my own State of Anambra while you can't tell anyone why IDP camps are all over your own State?

You guys should start asking your selves why Nigeria is amongst the top 10 most insecure countries of the world, what can be done to improve this, rather than using whatever insecurity there is the South East to score cheap political points while your own backyard is burning.

Peace out!

The most important thing have been extablished that IPOB is behind the insecurity in Igboland as stated by gov Soludo.
Why are so called Biafrans killing Igbos in Igboland?

These characters always available to defend IPOB that they have nothing to do with insecurity in Igboland that it is external enemies of ndi Igbo killing people in SE.I will like to invite them to read Gov Soludo's acessment of security situation in his state.

Mbanda stolen IGBOPROMISE1 gidgiddy sultanofpiglets BiafranPatriot.
These are all teH.rroR sympathizers or enablers.

Paraman:
You shouldn't be asking this kind of question

How's SEDC(South East Development Commission) the same with the River Basin Development Authorities?

The names alone should let you know they have nothing in common

Both are for regional development isn't it?
What is A going to do that B can't equally do.
Na question I ask I want to know their functions.

This one is different from all the devlopment commissions he recently signed into law like SEDC?
Is this not duplication of agencies?

Lifestone:
I'm not seeking you to tell me how Adekunle Fajuyi died. You are obviously a revisionist, so no point engaging on that, first hand history abound in this regard.
Even if Tinubu kill himself for you guys, you will still not be happy, so no point

I will not appreciate fake events... go to Abia airport thread I commended Tinubu and his Government for chosing to build airport in my state.
Now this project can be considered as a favour from Tinubu because he is not under obligation to do so and I commend him for that.
In the other hand permanent secretary is the right of every state in Nigeria by law just like every state getting a minister so it isn't a favour.Get the difference or show me appreciation letter other regions have written to Tinubu for getting a permanent secretary.
