agbotaen: 1. some igbos should be ashamed of themselves as they dont even know what an igbo word is and what a bini word is , cant you igbos accept that you took some things from benins ? kingship is not practiced in igboland but now every igbo town has an igwe or king , una no de shame and they will say they had it since ancient times.I guess the Sultans,Emirs etc all learned kingship from the Binis Agbotaen have you read the book "anioma:resolving identity crisis" written by the current Obi of Idumuje Unor, HRH Obi Charles Chukwuweike Anyasi III,  ?If not please i advise you do so.If you dont know where to get it let me know i can get it across to you or tell you where to get a copy.Please read the book review from Professor Egonwa Below:By Osas Egonwa I have gone through this book and am so glad to be associated with the project. I will now proceed to share the author’s ideas as well as mine on the subject matter and you will agree with me that it is something to be proud of. This book, Anioma, Resolving the Identity Crisis, cannot be timelier than now because there has been a lot of identity crises among those who ought to be moving the case for Anioma State. Many of them think that we cannot have an Anioma State or an Anioma people because they believe that they see themselves as coming from other stock. I remember reading something by the late Professor Afigbo. He said that the problem with minorities is that they keep tracing their origins to neighbouring great states. For us Anioma people or Umu Anioma, as the author calls us, it is either that we think we are from Benin because it has a prestigious name, a great history and tradition, they have been known worldwide, or we are from the east because of their number. But whatever the case, the author has tried, using empirical evidence, historical records, not just journalism, not just vain argument but has supported his facts with authentic verifiable and comparable data, supporting his own line of thought. About a month ago I was present in another Anioma forum to read the paper on behalf of a colleague of mine. There, the paper was saying that we can stay on our own because we have economic viability, enough to guarantee us a state, but the central issue here is not economic viability. We are talking about identity, who are we? This is essential because if you don’t know where you are coming from, or how you see yourself, you cannot determine where you are or the way forward. That is precisely what I have found in this book. I have studied this book and am convinced that the author has been able to prove that we need not have identity crisis as Anioma people. Yes, some argue that they came from Benin, but we saw what happened during the Nigerian Civil War; our people suffered. Some of us were young but we saw what happened. Some of the important people in our communities were killed and their goods looted in Benin, as the author reminds us, and you say you are from Benin because one of your great grand fathers was a Benin chief or a king who came down from Benin and came to this part of the world with Benin diplomacy and imposed themselves on a community predominantly Igbo before their arrival. Again, some people don’t want to hear the word Igbo, but why? The author has been able to trace the history of the word Igbo. He discloses that it came from the name Eber, which metamorphosed to Hebrew, Heebo and modified to Ibo or Igbo, all traceable to the Jews. And if you see what the Igbos are suffering in Nigeria, according to the author, not just in Nigeria, but worldwide, you will know that the Igbos are connected with the Jews. It is not just a simple story like that; he showed us history, from the Bible, from historical accounts to show the movement; that they came right from the east to this part of the world and settled down. He also buttressed this with evidences of cultural traits, names, traditions, even their kingship pattern, even of kings going to war. You recall the Bible history of how Israelite kings led their people to war. Yes, as the author narrates, the kings physically led their soldiers to war, they were in front, not just as commanders sitting back and using walkie-talkie to issue commands. And I am very proud that, being a man of God and being a scholar, the author has been able to muster all the evidences to establish what he refers to as a trigonometric relationship between the Hebrews, the Igbos and Umu Anioma. And that is very important, very very important. Now, someone may be asking; why the Jewish connection? If you are a student of history, it will be clear to you that if you pick up a quarrel with a Jew, the Jew wins easily. Therefore, if we are in any form of challenge with anyone, we are going to win by inheritance. You cannot defeat a Jew, so why don’t we boldly associate with them. It is better for us to associate with that which is good so that we can know where we are heading to. After all, no one answers a name like Ogwumagana (Chameleon) or Idide (Milipede), but you find people bearing Agu (Lion), Eke (python) e.t.c. because they are associated with bravery. At any rate, the author also made us to understand that he is not trying to advocate a re-gathering of the Jews scattered all over the place and migrated to our present place, as it is not necessary. Talking about the Igbo connection, if you say you don’t like the word Igbo because it has acquired some derogatory terms, don’t worry about it. If your name acquires derogatory status, it is your duty to find out why. Whatever you call something that is what it is for you. If your Igbo is derogatory, it is because you called it so. Research has shown that Igbo means nothing but People, signified by such names as Igbo Ukwu (People of Great Community), Igbo Uzor (People living by the Highway) Igboafugo (People have seen), Igbo Egbunam (May the people not kill me). It is also probable that some of the communities in the west with Igbo names are people who migrated from Igbo land, dwelt in the west and later moved away. So why are people afraid to be associated with Igbo? There was the issue of the slave trade, which the author also referred to; a period when slaves were referred to as Igbo, but that is not what the author is talking about here. We are talking about people who live in a community. The fundamental question is; who are we, the Anioma people? The author has tried very much to use so many instances to plot the map and establish that it is better for us to realise that our origin is connected more to the east than the west. Some communities in Anioma do not want to hear the name Igbo, but that should not be so, especially if you consider their first names, community names, culture and language. If you say we are Edos, how about Igbanke? Ozanobodo is even there, and what about Abavo? These are Ika people and Ika is in Anioma. There are so many things we ought to know so that we can stand our ground in proclaiming that we are Anioma. He looked at some of the clans like the Ubulus, the Ndokwa and the Ezechimas and showed very well us how these people are connected with the Jews. He even went into such issues as physical immortality and all that, which is quite philosophical and almost esoterical, but they are needed. That is why I say that this book is not just a book of history or advocacy. It is a book of philosophy, things you ought to know. The worship style of our people is also connected with the Nri. Of course you know that Nri is a source where most of our people came from. The Ogwashi Ukwu people came from there. They were originally called Ogwanshi but over there, they call them Nri. And the ruling families are actually from there, with their relations and all that. And you find that in Igboland, the Nri people are the Levites who cleanse the land. We were also told that they sold iron spearheads; they were blacksmiths, and traded as they went along doing their ritual or legal functions. And you find that our people here also follow the same Levitical structure in our worship and so on and so forth. However, the author did not fail to tell us also that modern influences have eroded these Jewish influences because the Jews who practiced Judaism stood for one man one wife, but later, that culture was polluted. Not that we don’t have records of those who married multiple wives. We saw the case of Solomon, but we saw what happened to him, even David, a man after God’s h[b]eart. We also saw what happened to him as a result of multiple wives. So, he is trying to use all these evidences to show who we are, where we came from and where we should be going.[/b] [b]We have the Chima story for instance. The Chima story is very important. But some Ika people refer to him as Ikime or Kime or whatever, because they don’t want to identify with the Igbo. But how can it be that a strong Igbo man that travelled to Edo land remained an Igbo? Of course, the author reminds us that the Igbo race witnessed an era of native doctors who undertook pilgrimages called mbia. History has established that, at some point, there was a movement around the 16th Century of people from the east who moved up. And we have traditions in our own Anioma area which show that native doctors usually actually undertook the mbia trips. So, it is very likely that Chima, being a very good native doctor, was retained by the Oba, with whom he nurtured a relationship. However, in their relationship, some disagreement arose. Of course, when you are a stranger in a place, you are a stranger. In fact, there were wars, and these wars caused the migration of Chima and his people, eventually referred to as Ezechima. These facts have been thoroughly established in this book.[/b] EXCERPTS ENDS Please take note of the highlighted.This is a book written by the Current Obi Of Idumuje Unor. He also boldly disabuses the minds of those who have, for long, peddled the Anioma / Edo ancestral link. This book presents an assertive triogonometric perspective of Anioma / Igbo / Jewish link for a majority of Anioma people, It is also a great eye-opener to many young Anioma youths on some of the fading Anioma myths, customs and tradition. The story is told, vintage Charles Anyasi, with the simplicity, authority and candour of a home-bred Prince and key player in the Anioma project. 1 Like |

Pharoh: Anioma origin and identity settled here in this link . .Thats a stupid write up pioneered by people who have self inflicted Identity crisis like you as we know that all online anioma groups are operated by those with Identity Crisis.the writer or contributors have seen probably how impossible it would be to label ANIOMA as non igbo,hence they came up with this write up to suite their stand.However,According to the write up,the writer acknowledged that ANIOMAS ARE IGBO,(excerpts:While we do not have to start breaking each community down by telling their ancestral origin, we want to admit that some communities in the present entity referred to as DELTA NORTH SENATORIAL ZONE, otherwise known as ANIOMA are IGBOS,which should not be in doubt).In order to also please some people like you with self identity crisis the write had to make mention of other communities with different ancestral origin[b](excerpts:we also want to use same proof to state that "some" of the communities also are BINIS,IGALAS,ISOKOS AND URHOBOS.)[/b]But however what we cannot accept is these immigrants or slaves from Bini like you PHAROH AND ABGOTAEN coming to portray ANIOMA as not an IGBO NATION.In Anambra state,there is about 9% Igala population and they are under Anambra state and they have not come to make Anambra look like NON IGBO STATE....Those that say they migrated from bini have failed to know that what they have is just an Oral Account and not a documented account of their migration.For a group of Bini Migrants/Slaves claiming to have found a town and lose their language is simply a HOAX.No Ika man speak Bini other than the one learnt.In Edo state,we have an Igbo town called IGBANKE which happened to be located in edo state during state creation.Now this people are marginalized because Edo state and its people do not see them as one of their own and that is the reason why this community wants to join back their kin and kiths in the proposed Anioma State.AND YOU STILL COME TO TELL ME THAT YOU MIGRATED FROM BINI.why are they not fighting for a relevance in the EDO State if they truly belong there. The name ANIOMA is basically for Political purpose as the writer acknowledged but the writer with his narrow vision of political relevance all to suit interests of some people with this identity crisis have come to group communities in this ANIOMA and what they should be addressed as (Excerpts:We want to further state that,rather than address any part of this DELTA NORTH SENATORIAL ZONE entity as igbo,ukwuani or ika that we have acknowledged that we have namely: Igbos of Anioma, Ikas of Anioma, Ukwuanis of Anioma.For the communities that originated from IGBO, we shall prefer that they are addressed as The Igbos of Anioma, likewise the Ikas of Anioma and Ukwuanis of Anioma. ANIOMA SHALL REMAIN OUR COMPOUND NAME AND THE ONLY NAME WE WISH TO BE COLLECTIVELY ADDRESSED WITH.) The writer have failed to point that not all ikas,ukwuanis have identity crisis so this whole thing is a complete waste of time. 1 Like |

[quote author=Idun'oba ehis]Why ard the igbos always claiming anything good. I just finished reading an article in punch online by one Azuka Onwuka. He was decrying Dangote's not siting any of his factory in Igbo land, and his not having a single investment in the east - which is ok. He went further to say that, Dangote has the same business acumen with the Igbos hence he must have an igbo blood in him. So, he suggested that he shuld go for a DNA. He also said that Dangote is an Igbo name and that it means "di anyi gote" please come and buy in english. from my experience with igbos in real life and online, i know the igbos are all like this writer, Azuka. So my question to you igbos is this: 1. Why are you always claiming anything good? You alway think that once something is good, then it must be from you; nobody else is capable of doing anything good except you. 2. Why do you always ascribe igbo meanings to any word/phrase even when it's in anoda language. 3. Why are you the one that is always crying of marginalisation.

| Culture › Desperate Mothers Making Money By Selling The Placenta Of Their Babies by olisaokere(op): 12:19pm On Sep 05, 2013 |
Selling of placenta by desperate women who have just given birth is the booming trade in Abuja, a development which has reached alarming proportions. Chika Mbonu, a local midwife in Abuja said, "I was first approached by two middle aged men when I was in Akwanga in Nasarawa State two years ago; in fact that was the first time I heard of it. I was shocked to my bone marrow that I had to scream for them to leave my house immediately. It was after they left that I found out that they had already met one of my relatives who directed them to me and I had to start warning and enlightening all my patients never to give in to anyone who demands for their placenta for any amount." Dorcas Ochugbo, a resident of New Karu in Nasarawa, has also been approached by one of these merchants. "It was after the delivery of my second baby at one maternity home in Masaka. The woman came and offered me N500,000 for my placenta. When I asked what she needed it for, she claimed that she works for a cosmetics company who uses it for production of its products. I asked her to wait for my husband to come so they can discuss but she left and promised to come back and never returned. Also speaking on the issue, an Abuja based legal practitioner, Onuorah Chinanuekpere, said that section 216 (e) of the panel code law states that "whoever is in possession of or has control over any human remains which are used or are intended to be used in connection with the worship or invocation of any juju shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to two years or with fine or with both." "Hence going by the provisions of the law, it could be interpreted to mean that any person in possession of the placenta, which medical practitioners see as human remains, and is found to be using same for witchcraft or juju, should be penalized," he said. "This is the reason why medical doctors strictly urge mothers to bury same after child birth."

Encore[/quote]Even the Obi of Ogwashi Uku,Prof Okonjo(Father of Ngozi Okonjo Iweala) is a proud Igbo man who is about Igbo Unity.He has categorically stated that the Ogwashi-uku(Ogwa Nshi Ukwu) is from Nri in Ananmbra state.All those people with self inflicted identity crisis,You are on your own. |

Chronic halitosis is not well understood by most physicians and dentists, so effective treatment is not always easy to find. The following strategies may be suggested: Gently cleaning the tongue surface twice daily is the most effective way to keep bad breath in control; that can be achieved using a tooth brush, tongue cleaner or tongue brush/scraper to wipe off the bacterial biofilm, debris, and mucus. An inverted teaspoon may also do the job. Scraping or otherwise damaging the tongue should be avoided, and scraping of the V-shaped row of taste buds found at the extreme back of the tongue should also be avoided. Brushing a small amount of antibacterial mouth rinse or tongue gel onto the tongue surface will further inhibit bacterial action. Eating a healthy breakfast with rough foods helps clean the very back of the tongue. Chewing gum: Since dry-mouth can increase bacterial buildup and cause or worsen bad breath, chewing sugarless gum can help with the production of saliva, and thereby help to reduce bad breath. Chewing may help particularly when the mouth is dry, or when one cannot perform oral hygiene procedures after meals (especially those meals rich in protein). This aids in provision of saliva, which washes away oral bacteria, has antibacterial properties and promotes mechanical activity which helps cleanse the mouth. Some chewing gums contain special anti-odor ingredients. Chewing on fennel seeds, cinnamon sticks, mastic gum, or fresh parsley are common folk remedies. Gargling right before bedtime with an effective mouthwash (see below). Several types of commercial mouthwashes have been shown to reduce malodor for hours in peer-reviewed scientific studies. Mouthwashes may contain active ingredients that are inactivated by the soap present in most toothpastes. Thus it is recommended to refrain from using mouthwash directly after toothbrushing with paste (also see mouthwashes, below). Maintaining proper oral hygiene, including daily tongue cleaning, brushing, flossing, and periodic visits to dentists and hygienists. Flossing is particularly important in removing rotting food debris and bacterial plaque from between the teeth, especially at the gumline. Dentures should be properly cleaned and soaked overnight in antibacterial solution (unless otherwise advised by one's dentist). Probiotic treatments, specifically Streptococcus salivarius K12 has been claimed to suppress malodorous bacteria growth, however well designed randomised control clinical trails are needed to assess this. Certainly there is more evidence for mechanical tongue cleansing and to a lesser extent specific antimicrobial mouthwashes. 3 Likes |
