@OP Breakfast bill amounted to 1, 542, 000 Lebanese Pounds. As of today, 1Lebanese = 0.1316 NGN. Hence the bill was approx NGN202, 927.20. Or that 4-digit USD figure also written on the receipt.

Modaf***er illiteracy is a disease. Go treat ur self ASAP. That's how clowns like you'd come to the bank with Korean Won, expecting stacks of Naira in exchange. Idiota!

I'm pretty sure Emami put up that receipt pic there cos he was sure expecting this kind of response you displayed.

My question is this,why would a literate man post a copy of his bills online?whats he trying to prove?

tpiadotcom:
Below that is the room number, isnt that where you got 1408 from?

1044 and 1408 are not the same and can't possibly get that from there

tpiadotcom:
1408 is the room number, its clearly written on the bill.

Look at the bill very well,the amount due to be paid was probably in Lebanese currency and below it is conversion in dollars 1044.01

Warri billionaire, Ayiri Emami,his brother Aje Emami and friends are currently on vacation in Beirut Lebanon.

They are all having the best of fun as the Oil mogul and founder of the 911 Beach and Resort in Delta state splashed a whooping sum of N1.5million on breakfast today.

Pictured below are Ayiri Emami and his crew catching fun at the Four Seasons Hotel in the country.He also shared a pic of the receipt of the breakfast.

Total is $1,044=N207,308...not 1.5 million naira.

iidiot. for now nothing like obi of Agbor; is "Dein of Agbor".........AND THE WORD "DEIN" IS NEVER IGBO.

What title did the previous kings of Agbor go with in the past before it was changed to dein by the current king of Agbor and what was the reaction of the elders of the Agbor kingdom on the change of the title?

babygirlfl:
First of all if your going to be marrying one of us, you have to know how to address us. We are not delta Igbo, ( I have no problem whatsoever with Igbo people. Just love to be called with what we really are) we are Deltans or Anioma or if you want to be specific you say Ukwani, Aniocha or Ika.

To your question, generally it's not expensive unless of course the family is a greedy one. In my place the bride price is returned and the traditional marriage is hosted by the brides family with or without the support of the grooms family while the groom's family sponsors the church/court or whatever marriage they choose to do.

My dear,being called delta Igbo is simply a way to differentiate igbos of delta state from other tribes like the itsekiris,ijaws,isokos etc.if you don't like being called delta Igbo,you would rather asked to be addressed as an Igbo man or woman from delta state as we have other ethnic groups in our state.responding to you as an Igbo man from delta state,I would rather not accept to be called a deltan because we are not regarded as the 'core deltans' by the other ethnic groups that share the same state with us te igbos of delta state am they would forever refer to us rightly as igbos.Anioma as you said is an acronym formed by late Dennis osadebe which is used to bring all igbos of delta state under one unbrella and its never an ethnic name and will never me.The anioma which you prefer to be called is coined from the local governments occupied by the igbo people of delta state,ie ANIOCHA,NDOKWA,IKA,OSHIMILI AND MA was added to it to have a meaning anioma which is an Igbo word meaning GOOD LAND.
And for your information,these local governments that make up the anioma are no ethni groups as well and it will be quite insane to tell us that you are ika,aniocha,or oshimili when asked which tribe or ethnic group you belong.it is more like asking an Igbo man from anambra which ethnic group he or she belongs he comes to say he is ogidi,nnewi or even onitsha ethnic group.if you have problem being identified rightly as an Igbo from delta state,that's your personal problem.its no longer a news that we have bigots from our Igbo part of delta state.however,keep denying who you are but don't drag all of us who are proudly Igbo people from delta state into your myopic view.no insults intended.thanks

Pls,when doing these,leave your children out of your strategies.you may think your children don't know what you are upto but they do and your wife will definitely beat you at your game.Kids tend to be closer to their mothers.

Aside the excessive audacity which breeds arrogance and pride with Igbos, This is the part i like about Igbos...Everything is business...let truth be told. Igbos are way ahead in business in Nigeria. I entered Ladipo market one day and couldnt find one shop owned by a Yoruba man in the two hours i spent there. I think business is genetic for them. can you remember the ''my oga at the top stuff'' while some of us typed on the internet, Aba boys were thinking business. Mbaka spoke against GEJ, few days after, (Mbaka but why T. shirt was all over the market). They seem not interested in white collar jobs like every other tribe. If we have more entrepreneurs, the faster we come out of the corruption in public and civil service. when i finished NYSC, i was retained in the bank with one Emeka boy..I remeber during the interview, one of the panelists said, Emeka, you are supposed to be in Aba or Alaba, what are you doing here? the Igbo jokingly said, its capital am looking for..six years after, the Igbo boy resigned, we never knew he was combining banking with real estate business..on saturdays he was a house searching agent. he told me he sold two houses in Ikoyi and resigned...Till i left the bank, his salary account was in millions...doing so well in business, the latest he told me last year was that, one of the panelists in that our interview is now his account officer...I just love the business part of them and maybe the way they adore their wives and children. They take family very seriously. Emeka is so wealthy and lavishes his wealth on his wife and 3 boys. Needless to say he inspired me into business and i am doing well too, but not anywhere near Emeka.

Throw them into the Lagoon and see the potentials of that water developed by them.

Who told you igbos seem not be interested in white colar jobs??and I wonder why one of the panelist as you called it would ask such a question during an interview.from your write up,I think you trying to take a swipe at igbos and no sane Igbo person will like your write up

Basketmouth,it's Igbo not ibo.you should know that by now.

The point here is not only you should take the MTN offer for the pay but also for the experience which will add to you Resume.you will have another job Experience and also a higher pay.who knows where the next offer might take you to.A higher level I think.so come on,grab the opportunity and move on.God has more better things down for you.

Alishachris: you don't joke with religion and things of God bro! the ties run deep. I am a catholic but yet I brought up this issue because It is not right! evil flourish when the good men do nothing

I don't see anything evil here. The properties are serviced by the archdiocese or the Catholic Church. More over, those apartments or lavish apartments you labeled it are all shared by the priests and staff but that does not mean that's how all catholic priests live in every part of the world

ChinenyeN: What is wrong with the two of you? Don't bring that your endless debating into this thread.

Lol...Tony lets not get Agbotaen and the rest worked up

tonychristopher: just the same like us

ahu ohu



but thought agbor ain't one of us igbos

And from the similarity in dialects of agbor and yours,what do you think?

[quote author=Idun'oba ehis]Is Omuguo an igbo word? just curios[/quote]YES or did you think it migrated from BINI? ....SMH with this Bini theory!

Lindx93: Tnks....I downloaded the pdf file with 55 pages but all pages were empty except page one which has only the picture of an old man nd introduction of the history. What could be wrong

You just downloaded an online content and it would need an internet connection to view the rest of the pages.Probably your internet connection was too slow and thats why the other pages did not show.Best practice is,download and save the PDF file in your computer and then you can read all the 55pages offline.Still need more help,let me know

[quote author=Idun'oba ehis]If you know Ika culture, ranging from Kingship, Chieftancy titles, dressing, music, dance, worldview, etc. and you are truth, you will admit that we have more similarities with Benin than Igbo apart from language which is very dynamic.[/quote]Download and read in full the pdf file in the link first of all.I am not here to drag with you

[quote author=Idun'oba ehis]I have observed that too. Ika language is closer to Esan than Bini but our culture is pure Bini[/quote]Did you not see the link i posted up there?If you did,you wouldnt say ika culture is pure bini

Lindx93: Dear Ika people of Nairaland...I'm Lynda nd I hail from Agbor Obi,Delta state..Pls I urgently need a detailed history of Ika land,Agbor-Obi.I've searched everywhere for it including google but to no avail. It's an assignment given to me in sch to be submitted as soon as we resume bk nxt year from the ASUU strike nd I really need ur help whoever has it cas I do not want to have a carry over in that particular course.This has given me sleepless nyts..pls come to my aid.Tnks in anticipation.

The link below is a research work done be one of your Kinsman on agbor history.You many find it useful as he gave a detailed account of your community.


http://people.bu.edu/manfredi/Iduuwe.History.pdf

Pharoh: How can Ika be igboid and at the same time still be a dialect of igbo language, the same igbo language that was created by the British colonialist.

Ika is an igboid language that has its own dialects and it is a separate and distinct language on its own so it is never a dialect of igbo language. The created igbo language is an igboid language just like Ika so there is no way that Ika is a dialect of igbo language, it is good that the lectures from the delta thread is sinking into some brains.

Young man just keep shut.Ika is an igbo dialect just like you have other igbo dialects from different igbo communities and states.

agbotaen: what you have simply written is igbo and not ika , and for your information , ika is a language with about 6 variations or dialects and one that is purely edoid called ozara, so if igbos want to learn ika lets know and we will teach you .

IKA IS IGBOID AND A DIALECT OF IGBO WITH LITTLE BORROWED EDO LANGUAGE.!

agbotaen: the difference is that the people in asaba and the areas you mentioned fought and supported biafra 100 percent because they say they are igbo , while ika fully rejected being igbo and majority assisted the nigerian army to chase away the biafrans , so that is the difference .
2. when asaba and environs were massacred by the nigerian army , the ika people were not massacred , so can you see the difference now and if you dont know the history , please ask your igbo relatives that are alive then , olodo

You don carry your ika lies and war stories of ika supporting Nigeria during the civil war come here again??Get your fact rights..The bini people where you claim to come from were the ones that exposed lots of the western igbos living in their communities to the Nigerian army and they killed most of the Ikas in the Bini region?did you not hear the storyEwu Ika

Stupid thread from a SELF INFLICTED IDENTITY CRISIS INDIVIDUAL! who wants to drag all igbos of delta state into its MYOPIC MIND...See how thread is getting no attention?RABBISHHH!!!!!

Pharoh: I don't know why the highlighted facts above always eludes you guys and if there are actually people from Ika nation that claims to igbo then let them come to this thread to defend themselves. Why are people who are not from Ika land so concerned about Ika people, leave the Ikas who claim to be igbos to defend themselves while you mind your business.

That is how someone claim that it is only the ones who deny their igbo identity that you will find on facebook and other created groups. So i ask that if they are in minority then is it not a shame that that the majority who claim to be igbos cannot even create a facebook page and claim that aniomas are igbos. All the groups you see on facebook and all over the internet always claim pro anioma, pro Ika and Pro ndokwa so where is this fathom aniomas that claim to be igbos. Why don't you ask those that claim that they are from anioma and igbos to tell you which online groups they belong to that claim to be igbos.

Stop the obsession with anioma people and let them be, let them decide whatever they want to be and you guys should mind your business seriously. You don't see yoruba people getting obsessed about their brothers in delta, kwara or kogi but it is different from you guys and i just wonder why.

Young man,if you are sincere to yourself you will notice hugely that alot of igbos in delta state who happen to be in these groups still attack those anti igbos that created these pages to the extent that these bigots have known that they cant achieve their aim of making anioma look like not an igbo area.they still maintain and tell them that we are igbos no matter how hard they try to hide the truth.That is why till tomorrow,we call them(bigots) [b]"Loud Minority"[/b]ie "those i no be igbo" peddlers as they go about creating pages to tell people they dont want to be igbos again.majority of us who do not wish to change our igbo identity are not troubled and we go our normal business and associate very well with our kiths and kins in the east and we stay in unity and we all discuss the progress of Igbo is diaspora.I MEAN WHY WOULD I WANT TO START CREATING WEB PAGES ON FACEBOOK TO TELL PEOPLE WE ARE IGBOS WHEN ALREADY WE ARE IGBOS AND NIGERIANS KNOW THAT WE ARE IGBOS AND WE ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE??As long as i am concerned PHAROH,you have IDENTITY PROBLEMS AND YOU ARE TROUBLED that is why you and AGBONTAEN will tear yourselves down to disassociate yourself from the igbo world.TRUST ME IF I KNEW YOU IN REAL LIFE,I WILL IGNORE YOU BECAUSE WE DONT REASON ALIKE.What troubles me is all you that claim not to be igbo still name your newborns Igbo names.THIS IS JUST IDENTITY CRISIS AND IT WILL SURELY AFFECT YOU IN LIFE SOMEDAY.

Afam4eva: I used to follow Emeka when he was writing pro-Igbo articles but recently, he resents anything Igbo. You'll hardly hear him mention Igbo in his articles.

I was following him too.but after i noticed he started mingling with bigots and a change in opinion,i forgot about him.

Afam4eva: Are you referring to Emeka Esogbue? What embarrassment was that? I know Emeka has been more into Anioma stuff than Igbo stuff that he used to be pre-occupied with.

Esogbue was pro igbo unity not until he got influenced by the Anti igbo bigots.So i wont be surprised if he comes out to say he is no longer igbo but that wouldnt bother me anyways.For most of us who know who we are cant be influenced and can never deny our Igbo Origin.

Fact still remains that be it Delta Igbo,Igbo,ibo,western igbo,eastern igbo still remains same thing and meaning- IGBO. Delta Igbo was used to actually differentiate Igbos of delta state from other tribes also found in Delta State like the Urhobos,itsekiris,ijaws,isokos..Nowadays a lot of us would love to be referred as Igbos of delta state rather than delta igbo and we are hoping to get our Anioma State soon and leave delta state for good.

Back to Ika and its communities,Every Ika clan have its origin. While that of Agbor is debatable ie the original inhabitants,Owa was largely derived from people who came from Nri which in Ika dialect is called NHI OR IHI. It's true that is Owa Ofie is the aboriginal people of Owa and they came from Benin. But in size Owa Ofie cannot be compared to the people who came from Nri whose descendants dominate Owa Oyibu,Owa Alizomor,Owanta and Owa Alero. Owa Alero originated from migrations from Owa Oyibu and Ute Okpu. The Obi of Owa,HRH Obi Ikechukwu Efeizomor 11 has long emphasized that most of his people are of Nri origin. He stated this his book on community development in Owa kingdom and he topok pictures with the Ezenri in that book. The name Owa is of Igbo origin It means a partition ie a partition from Ute Okpu. In this regard ika people are not different from Nsukka people where monarchies also existed through the inluence from the Igala kingdom.
In the past Nsukka people were not regarded as Igbos because of their unique cultures and languge. In fact Ika is more closer to "Igbo" than Nsukka. Also they bear such Igala names like Asadu,Idoko and Onoja. They have Igala deities. carry Igala tribal marks and have Igala masquerades. They also bear titles of Igala origin. So what is peculiar with Ika perhaps were governed as part of the old Western region. Ute Okpu,Owa and Ute Ogbeje were all part of the same migration from Nri

AGBOTAEN PLEASE READ UP A PARTICULAR CULTURE OF THE BINI ON THE WEBPAGE BELOW

http://academic.csuohio.edu/curnowk/curnowk/html/aisien.html


Below is an excerpts in the write up from the Page above.The writer clearly acknowledged bini influence on its neighboring towns.




"Under the influence of Benin, however, neighboring peoples such as the Esan to the immediate north and the Ika Igbo to the east adopted the iwu patterns. The people of Usen, who straddle the Bini-Yoruba border, also emulated this style, but left out the gender-defining mark. Frequent contacts between Benin and Owo, and Benin's influence on the latter, show up in the scarifications on small ivory statuettes from Owo (Fagg & Bassani 1988: fig. 264; Bedaux & Smits 1991;76-77; Ezra 1992:285). The figures display the typical five long abdominal marks; whether they mean the same thing is uncertain. Osugbo (Ogboni) torso markings on some male and female terracota figures from Ijebu (Yoruba) are also like iwu, but the relationship, if any, remains cloudy. "
