Now this is over the board. You can still pass your message across without insults and mockery. Umuoji by anaoma. Ka udo Chia!

What that F are you on about ??

Rochas knows he is done politically, so, he might as well sweep the state coffers before hand over.

ChrisKels:
Most people in here really do have low self esteem. U guys are crying bkus omidiji has decided to pitch his tent with USA, really? Omidiji at this level is crap and not even better than others that were dropped too, hence he should go to hell with his yeye attitude, u guys crying can as well join him(to hell). How could one possibly suggest that the coach makes a public statement bkus of this kid. Gush!!!

The average black man worships anything close to white.

I have friends with from that side, have been to Nzam severally so I know a bit about them.
I wonder which history book you read or were told without the inversion which is crystal clear.
Also note that Igala historically are typical warriors and bullies. They do invaded theirs neighbours and encroach their lands. Similar to Bini.

Aguleri and Umureli are purely of the same ancestry just like any other Anambra West, East and Oyi - Eri.

Anam is made up of group of migrants, basically from Nri towns and some part of Igala invaders. They did move closer to Riverside because of the the importance.

Nna yi mulu yi. I tried to avoid that discussion but you have said all that needs to be known. Umuleri and Aguleri are kins. I don't understand the stupid infighting...Just black man and his ffoollishness.

do you stay in Owerri, have you been to Owerri b/f? if you have to ask somebody in owerri then it should be me.

get that into ur wishful brain.

There is a title taking in Oratta area but it's not Nze. There is a Duru version in that region but nothing close to Nze na Ozo. The Duru system is sort of honorary title , while Nze no Ozo is an elaborate traditional institution ,with authority to enact laws. Duru title taking isn't Nze na Ozo. I am yet to read it in their written history littered over the net. I have been to their gatherings,wined and dined with them, but not traces of the tradition.

You don't have to get mad over it and start telling lies. It's dumb, since it can be verified. I am waiting for you, somegirl and the guy who said Ebam in Abia has it. I will be here waiting!

FortuneDeGreat:
See your life, Mr know all, see as everyone is exposing your ignorance left, right, up and down from all corners, I never see, someone who can't readily give a good account of his origin will be hell bent on telling others their stories.

It's only a mad man who will always think he's always right while others are all wrong. But in actual and factual sense the reverse is always the case.

In this case, you're the mad man here, I'm done with you, quote me all your life time, I won't pay you anymore attention, my time is reserved for reasonable and productive engagements not wasting it on some fools.

I probably will run ,too,if I had nothing to offer other than some beer parlour gossips.

FortuneDeGreat:
Have you come to agree that Umuoji is one of the least educated communities in Igbo land? People who mostly find it extremely difficult to differentiate between R&L. Ndi okpaa chaplet

This is ffucking ignorant. You sounded like a retard and will not dignify this thrash with a reply. Nwokem, this is not beer parlour. Next!

By the way , Umuoji has one of the best secondary school in Anambra build by the missionary (Mater Amabilis). A student of that school who is also from Umuoji was one of the girl that won a science competition in the USA. That is how we contribute not celebrating a dead warrant chief ,lawyer and rep members.

You said we are inconsequential and I have continued to slap you in the face like a true Nwa Okodu with facts while you resort to senseless and unfounded insults. Drive through Umuoji, take pictures and come back. Ubu bulu yi!

mbos:
dont mind that diaspora rant.

Hey, not so fast. She hasn't provided any information and I can't find any to that effect. Owerri people I know personally said they don't have the prestigious Nze na Ozo institution. You don't have to lie.

mbos:
you are ill informed....period. stop spreading ignorance,, you probably have never been to any other part of the east other than Anambra. in our Ebam in Abia State there is Nze and Ozo. keep quite.

Well, prove it. Just don't say,because that's not enough. This is my first time of hearing this. There is no available information to back you claim. YOU DONT HAVE IT!

FortuneDeGreat:
Rather it's your people who doesn't have a clear definition of their origin that should be very ashamed of themselves.

I won't bother to illuminate your dark mind of ignorance on Umunri history, just keep floating on and forth with your ignorance which is very typical of your people.

Irredeemable illiterates and loud mouthed empty vessels -Umuoji. Tufiakwa

Resorting to insult isn't helping you very much...screamimg illiterate up and down is very ignorant. You came here thinking you can get away with with that Enugwu Ukwu history revision tendencies and you got check,right away. You changed course and starting throwing names ,when you found out you have absolutely nothing to brag about but other peoples achievements.

Your town has inferiority complex because they have no legitimate culture. You borrowed Ofala, tried to borrow Iguaro but you don't even know the calender.

You called Oji Okodu inconsequential and I went ahead and shut your mouth with verifiable facts. You be ode! You have embarrassed your town in the public.

PHIPEX:
From Omambala by your definition

Omanbala is not a town .

Pazienza, Nwa Ide Nnaa, luo unor. You are too academical!

I had to start reading and I learned alot about Igbo people from my own deductions. Ogidi has no brother but his neighbors. I have relatives from Ogidi in hundreds including Ogbunike. Omanbala must be one and set a good example.

Pazienza, I love you like a true brother but we have to move on. We must build Anambra/Omanbala and then carry the rest along. If the spirit of brotherhood lives in you then you cant be fighting me in public. If I take you to the border of Umuoji and Ogidi you will be lost,nwanne. I have said this before, ana esi na unor dili mma wee puo ilo.

You might be more educated than me but before ALMIGHTY GOD AND MAN you are not wiser,as of today. You cant be pushing an Igbo agenda and leave Anambra/Omanbala behind. Ekesia na ama ebulu naa n'obi.

PHIPEX:
Stop talking nonsense, am from the area you are fighting for yet we kill every snake around. Social media has made all these your old propaganda difficult to propagate, you alone don't control the media anymore.

Where are you from?

pazienza:
Umunze have a history tracing their origin to present day Ohafia area. Same with Isuochi, Umuchieze , Nneato and surrounding areas in Imo and Abia.
They all have history of origin tracing them back to the far Eastern part of present Igboland, close to our borders with the Akwa Ibom groups. Yet the name of their progenitor was "Nze". You can see how extensive the word Nze is Igboland? It wasn't invented by the Nri like some people think. Also notice that Nze( Umunze progenitor) wife was named Lolo , surprised, right?

Additionally, I recently read Agbor history by EA Iduwe and he talked about the cult of Agbalanze that was instituted by Ogele (Agbor Patriarch) in the early formative years of Agbor), and for your info, Agbor doesn't recognize Nri influence.

So that's two Nze from far East and far west of Ignoring Igbo speaking realm.

All creation of artificial identities like Anioma, Omambala etc are going to do in Igboland would be to deliberately bury every minute detail that could link the newly created artificial identities to the larger Igbo body and magnification of minute things that separates the artificial construct from the rest of Ndiigbo outside the new artificial identity.
This would in turn make it near impossible for us to ever come close to solving the Igbo missing puzzle and unravelling how we all related and dispersed to current locations.

I would agree with you on most things, but you see this your Omambala agenda, it will have to stay confined to Anambra East, Anambra West and Oyi, where it rightfully belongs. Any attempt to expand it beyond those borders would be met with resistance.



I apologize if you feel slighted by my Ijele comments about Flavour. I meant no harm, you are a person I might sometimes disagree with, but would always respect.

For the fact that Igbo history was not written is not enough for us not to make an authoritative conclusion. Igbo land , according to carbon dating is one of the oldest place human lived in Nigeria, and we would never know half of our original history. I live in America where racism and prejudice is very common. At at a point I had to rediscover myself thats when I joined Nairaland and started learning from You, Obiagu, Onlytruth,Odumchi, Chinenye and the rest. At the same time I was studying the British, the Germans, Koreans and Mexicans and I learned one important thing. Cultural pride!! Igbos dont have cultural pride,they brag alot but apart from the little wealth nothing more.

FortuneDeGreat:
Do you know this man? His name is Jerry Amilo, top nollywood star, he's my town's man , bring forward just one notable star from umuiti Umuoji.

This crappy actor...lmao. Education doesnt guarantee class.

Umuoji is older than Arochukwu. But it's still plausible that some Umuoji people are of Aro ancestry , with the aro segment being recent additions before colonialism.

Either way, we wouldn't find out for sure, if we don't resist this artificial Omambala identity some are trying hard to create, as it will only blur things and give room to historical distortions to create non existent relationships between Igbo groups, while blurring real relationships between group.

By the way, I believe that Enugwu ukwu is the first son of umunri. The town is old, big and very influential. Do you know that the big town of Enugu Ezike in Enugu, one of the biggest and populous towns in Igbo land during the coming of the colonial masters, have links to Enugwu ukwu?

I respect Enugu ukwu people alot, they and their Enugu Agidi brothers. They are silent achievers.

How can Enugwu Ukwu be older when Menri was the OKPALA NRI? Nawaa for you ooo. Who were the people who marked the Igbo calender(Iguaro) ? This is despicable coming from you. Enugwu Ukwu people have no shame. They are usurpers but it didnt work to well. Agukwu Nri ji Offor Nri and nobody can change that. When I return to Nigeria I will pay homage to Eze Nri Onyeso(Nri Ewelani). That is the true royalty on Omanbala!

BrownRoofRep:
Umuoji should be older than Arochukwu, very much older though I doubt they are part of Omambala.

The Enugu-Ukwu guy is not entirely correct, they are certainly not Nri's first son.
Thanks.

Umuoji far predates Arochukwu. I dont know who wrote that nonsense about Umuoji originating from Arochukwu but I put a call to a reknowned Umuoji historian and it was corrected on Google search,asap.

Nevertheless, a group of Arochukwu natives visited Umuoji in the '70s and claimed they were originally from Umuoji and asked for a land but nobody has memory of them.

letu:
Igbo never exist as a block, last time I checked it is the same Anambra that's extremely forcing / promoting the one Igbo United agenda by promoting a one-sided story of Igbo people which is ERI the father of Igbo gave birth to all Igbo people and also Anmbra is the capital of the followers / students of ERI centric school of thought in which they are nothing but an extremely fanatical on forcing this history on other Igbos even when those other Igbos don't have ERI In their history and also don't believe in ERI.

Eri is not the father of Igbo and anybody who believes that is not well informed. The arrival of Eri brought cultural revolution in the Omanbala. The combination of Eri's practices and the culture of the aboriginals mophed into what we call the typical Omanbala culture. This culture gave rise to some of the practices I listed earlier.

pazienza:
Umunze don't have you "Omanbala" culture. Neither do they trace their origin to Nri. They don't do Ijele(dont let Flavour Ijele title deceive you, Flavour is merely being pan Igbo by taking on the nick name of "Ijele" 1 n'Umunze ) Agaba, Akwunechenyi, Iguaro, etc.
Their language is deeply rooted in Isu and very tonal.
I wonder how you are roping them into this.

This your Omanbala thing is dead on arrival, it can't survive beyond social media. The Omanbala we know is in Anambra East and West LGAs.

If feel disrespected with your flavour nabania's Ijele remark...Who doesnt know that was a fake title he made up. Please, this is bigger than flavour. Umunze,however live on the fringe you not expect them to be rooted in Omanbala culture than say Abagana. This is common sense.

Pazie, you haven't achieved much with your Igbo agenda but this Omanbala phenomenon is like a wild fire. Everyone Anambra person is loving it because it breeds unity, togetherness and brotherhood. Alot of influencers on social media are spreading it. You are alone!!

somegirl1:
The title "Nze" is conferred upon a select group in Oratta (Owerri) culture.
Don't be hasty to state your conjectures as fact.

Elaborate , please.

mbos:
no your list is only part of Abia and afikpo,
every part of igboland your hear names like, Nzeakor, Nzenwa, Nzeakolam, Nzeamadi, Nzeogwo(late Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu) Nzeadi, e.t.c
in Owerri for instance, there are titles like Oke Nze....meaning High Nze.
Nze means a "peace making/loving saint"

so I dont know where you got your history from, hope you do visit home at all...meet the informed elderly for information.

Only northern Imo has Nze na Ozo due to influence from Anambra towns. Mbaise , Owerri and co doesnt practice Nze na Ozo. Arondizuogu have it but Arochukwu doesn't and you know why. Arondizuogu borrowed it. Just because you have Nze in your names doesn't mean you practice it. It is just mere influence.....OWERRI DOESNT HAVE NZE NA OZO!! But the Nze na Ozo institution have wide influence including naming patterns accros Igbo land and in Anioma. But remember Anioma has Nri migrants who took the culture with them. Only norther Imo has Nze na Ozo due to proximity. Furthermore, Nze doesnt mean peace loving...We say "izelu ozo" for a reason....smh. Dont start talking about what you dont know. The other day I heard Imo guy reciting Anambra chants in Imo dialect...Itz sounded disgusting!!

Imo ,Abia ,parts of Ebonyi and,Enugu doesnt have the following.

Ofala
Iguaro
Igba Odu
Ijele masquerade
Abiulor(igba ndi eze and also a version of Akwunechenyi)
Akwunechenyi
Agaba masquerade
Nze na Ozo
Ikenga

And your spoken Igbo is very different. Igbo is very diverse.

FortuneDeGreat:
Ken Eric and Ugezu mediocres? Guy you must be the greatest comedian of all time. Lol, very funny thing, who, even if they are mediocres, can you compare with them from Umuoji? Simply your community lacks achievers because of their inferiority complex and mediocrities. Ugezu is the best nolllywood producer and director east of the Niger presently, if you doubt, well google is ever ready to educate you.

In fact, your presentation is highly laughable. No comparison.

Again, I am not here to compare individuals I dont personally know or related to ,its myopic. You pushed me into that and I don't do that. Go through my my history and you will learn that all I want is the advancement and development of Omanbala. I used Omanbala because the whites corrupted the name to Anambra. We have great achievers in health, banking ,sports, broadcasting, business etc.

Again, Umuoji has brought glory to Anambra and Igbo land as a whole through culture export just like Nkpokiti Umunze won Festac '77 and was printed at the back of 5 naira note, Ijele Igwulube Okodu won Abuja cultural festival where every tribe in Nigeria performed. Thats a great feat, my nigga! And , it happened twice!! Ife di na Okodu! We are proud and sometimes arrogant because of our culture, we know we have great culture. Just like Awka , Aguleri, Agukwu, Onicha and Obosi are danm proud of themselves over their cultural achievements.

Go to YouTube and listen to Egwu Obi Umuoji and tell me you aren't blown away. Go to ABS channel and see Umuoji women still exporting musical culture.

What glory has Enugwu Ukwu brought to Anambra. Stop talking about dead warrant chief and house of rep members. Tell me when you started that fake Igu Aro and Ofala....lol

FortuneDeGreat:
And talking about music, no Umuoji musician past and present can compare or compete with the famous Okonkwo Asaa(77) na Enugwu Ukwu in Igbo music.

Is it nollywood? Can you boost of any renowned star in the mould of Ugezu J. Ugezu and Ken Erics etc? Una no reach, this one aburo ikpa chaplet. When did Umuoji had their first professor? Did your town has any senior advocate? Unu adira eje akwukwo, so agbero na ikpa chaplet ka unu ma anyia.

Ugezu and Ken Erics? These are mediocre....I hate throwing names around. Ernest Ufele...Rangers '77. One of the pioneers. Ikechukwu Ofoje also Rangers is the head coach South Carolina University football team. The guy that played Peter from Rattlesnake is from Umuoji.

Let's talk about your culture because that's what started our exchanges. What did you invent. Forget individuals, we currently have reps from Umuoji and people who have achieved great things.

According to former Anambra state governor,Peter Obi.


"Governor Obi commended the community for preserving their age-long cultural heritage and for supporting the state government policies and programmes, assuring them that he would continue to identify with them in all its ramifications.

Obi disclosed that it was the masqueraders from Umuoji that helped the state to win the first position during the 2006 national cultural carnival in Abuja tagged: Abuja Carnival and then won second position in 2007 Abuja carnival.

He said that some of their masqueraders would be selected for this year's Abuja carnival later in the year"

Let's talk culture,forget individual achievement.
Egwu Obi Umuoji brought musical revolution to Igbo land in '70' and '80s. They travelled around Igbo land teaching their graceful dance steps.

What is Enugwu Ukwu known for...Is it Agwuna or Akpangbo ? These are dead individuals.

FortuneDeGreat:
One on one, we're an over size to your community in all facets, adi ama aka, who pass person pass him spirit, my traditional ruler was once the chairman of eastern Nigeria traditional rulers' council comprising 9 states in the present structure talking about His eminence, His Royal Highness Igwe Osita Agwunah of blessed memory, Eze Enugwu Ukwu na Igwe Umunri, can any of your puppet leaders get to that heights and leadership limelight? Ntooorrrr, adira ama aka

Igwe Osita Agwunah, the one who sits on a white man's stool....I will pass. Did you hear me mention Akum Nweze, Anu mmil? These were glorified warrant chiefs.

FortuneDeGreat:
At the junctions that is where you'll always get to meet agberos which Umuoji boys are well known for and which is a common earliest occupation they are known for in otu nkwo,.

I challenge you too to fritter close to any umunri clan and make such a statement as Enugwu Ukwu is claiming seniority and watch yourself dig your own grave and be buried alive.

Umuoji is so insignificant more so their history, it's better I start learning alphabet all over again than bother myself with your inconsequential history.

As far as I've taken it upon myself to bust your falsehood, you can't successfully deceive anyone on this thread.

I am far wiser, more educated, more experienced and exposed than you are. As much as I'm concerned putting into consideration of your presentation, you are far lower than a nonentity.

You are see...Hsee...How can you just wake up and decided its time to celebrate Iguaro...lol. Where were you when people were invented their own unique tradition?

Screaming up and down Umuoji is inconsequential is very stupid because you dont know anything about Umuoji but I took out time to study every Anambra town thats how I know you hqve no original culture but what you stole from Agukwu Nri.

You didn't invent Ofala
You didnt invent Iguaro
You didnt invent Ufejioku
You didnt invent Igba Odu
You didn't invent Ijele
You didn't invent Abiulor
You didn't invent Akwunechenyi


Everything you have is borrowed then you try to lay claim...lol

Egwu Obi Umuoji travelled around Igbo land teaching music like a school. Go to youtube and see comments...Nigga,gbafuo!
IGWULUBE OKODU KAM SI EJE!

FortuneDeGreat:
Trash as usual, like I said earlier, it's quite typical of your lots to brag about boosting so needless to give a damn care.

First to make money indeed, has any Umuoji man past and present ever make the list of top ten richest Igbo men?

Talking about festival, can you tell me any festival your town indulge in today which has. It's origin with your people?

Talking about peoples club, placing it high to the heights of legendary is a sheer display of misplacement of facts and overemphasizing of irrelevant issue. Belonging to peoples club is and was not a template of wealth assessment or great accomplishments.

In the political history of Anambra state, old and present Anambra, Umuoji has played little or no significant role in its process, at present, there's no person of note your lot can boost of in Anambra.

Finally, cos I'm not used to talking too much like your lots, towing erroneous route down the history of Ifikuanim has finally placed the last sealing on the heavy baggage of your load of ignorance pertaining Nri historical dynasty, therefore seeing how glaring your ignorance is, it's only fitting and advisable not to elucidate you, better muddle on with your ignorance on that regard.

Since Nri met you on arrival, please state clearly where you come from or are you part of those claiming to be the descendants of a fallen demon or maybe okodu sprout from the ground. Tell the world!

You are daft and you have comprehension problem. Go back and read my posts. Jeez, no wonder Nigeria is so backward. You are a product of Nigerian failed education system and its sad. Igbos claim to be wealthy but non is in the top 5 richest Nigeria. How about that ? Nnewi with all their wealth has zero political influence in Anambra...How about that? Enugwu Ukwu has deputy Gov. but you are largely unknown. What culture stands you out ? None. Because you are not imaginative...ntoor

Onicha, Obosi and Awka are some of the most educated Anambra people but they have little political influence in Anambra.
Umuoji people played important role during Ngige and an Umuoji man was President African development Bank and chairman ANSSIPPA...lol. Igwe Cyril Enweze. Obi of Onicha talked about him as one of the notable Igbo achievers...lol.

Umuoji invented Uzoiyi and today Nkpor and Abatete celebrates it. Talk about cultural influence...lol

FortuneDeGreat:
To debunk you squarely on your illusive assertions will be of a great pleasure to me.

Enugwu Ukwu has nothing to steal from their younger one, I know that will come as a surprise to you cos you ain't aware that Enugwu Ukwu was the first son of our great patriarch Nri. Twisting history will add no viable significance to your shallow knowledge.

All the festival you mentioned which your town is known for are all ceremonious and non has nothing to do with core Igbo traditional heritage, and historically non has lasted above two centuries.

Coming to riches you mentioned towards the end of your remark, I'll state categorically that your town is way behind in the chart of prosperous communities in Anambra, politically you're no where to be found, just specifically exceptional in nothing but boosting and loud mouth.

You can't even answer my simple question, can you? No. But let me repeat for the sake of setting the record straight, can you trace Umuoji origin to Eri? I challenge you. If you can't then you shy off beside and listen to me teach you your origin.

Typical local man bragging about other peoples wealth. Did you take inventory to know between Enugu Ukwu and Umuoji who is richer ? However, you sound too confident for a person who openly states cultureless Enugu Ukwu is elder to Agukwu Nri. Its on record that Agukwu Nri is the settlement place of Menri after departure from Aguleri. The first Iguaro was performed by Ife ukwu anim ,but out of desperation build a status they never had, all of a sudden, Enugwu Ukwu is marking the Iguaro....Sicckos!

Now, talking about original festivals.
Ogidi na eme nwafor
Ojoto na eme egwu eke
Onicha na agba Ofala
Awka na eme Imo Oka
These are all original festivals....Tell us what you have other than the stolen Iguaro invented by Agukwu Nri.

And what has Eri got to do with this...Eri met people when he arrived.
Finally, drive through Umuoji then come back and talk to me...Ndi Umuoji were some of the earliest to made money in Otu Onicha and played a major role in the formation of the legendary People's club of Nigeria. Some of the most powerful people in the People's Club were from Umuoji...Go listen. But I hate bragging about wealth. Its stupid!

FortuneDeGreat:
Efulefu who's claiming omanbala, I laugh at your gullibility. You read books written by who? Fellow ignoramus like you? You fool yourself openly on public media by claiming to know what you don't know in actual sense. Tell us the origin of okodu your patriarch? Omanbala my foot!

But , you said Umuoji is inconsequential...lol. Now, I don scare you small. Come to Nkpor junction and say Umuoji is inconsequential and watch Idenmili boys piawaa gi brain! Cultureless ofeke!

Worry about Enugu Ukwu people who claim seniority over Ifeukwuanim descendants....And you called somebody gullible?

If you want history of Umuoji you must apologize for being rude,firstly. Do you think you are talking to a nonentity?

pazienza:
My brother I tire.
I lived with my grandfather who died at ripe age of 97years, and not for once did he mention "Omanbala" to me.
Omabala/Anambra river is a foreign culture to Idemili land, my mother use to tell me stories about Ndi Omabala who are also known as Ndi mbamili.

Ogidi cannot trace her history to Nri. Heck, Ogidi has no single brother in Idemili, we have no fillial relationship with Idemili communities surrounding us, other than the fact that we had lived together for long and had now developed common culture and speech form.
Ogidi is supposed to be the only son of Inwelle, who was the only son of Ezechumagha. Where Ezechumuagha hails from is vague and there are no clear genealogy linking him to Nri.
From my wide readings, the part of Igboland who answers the name Ogidi much, are Anioma people, and we even have Akili-Ogidi in Ogbaru. Akili people being an ancient Igbo speaking people who were indigenous to present day Aboh Ndokwa/Ukwuani part of Delta,, who were conquered and forced to cross the river Niger to their present location by Aboh people who Agbor people claims migrated from Agbor and were descendants of an Agbor prince whose mother was Bini and whose relationship with the king was forbidden by the people, leading to her death and her young prince banished from Agbor with servants and well wishers into the lower Niger, then known in Igbo realm as Oru/Olu.

This prince born of Bini mother and Agbor mother is who Aboh people know as Essumai, and as expected, his history had been embellished and distorted in Aboh so that rather than appear as a reject from Agbor, we are being told that he was a prince and a son of an Oba of Bini, even when it's obvious the man spoke Igbo from the beginning, named his new found town with Igbo tongue, ie Aboh ji, gave his first son Igbo name, Ogwaezi( home on the road), and left us with an Igbo speaking Aboh.
It was this prince(Esumai) son (Ogwaezi) who drove the Akili natives of Ndokwa away towards their current location in Ogbaru Anambra, while assimilating some of them who go by the name Akarai in Ndokwaland today.

Some Anioma folklores also speak of an ancient Kingdom called Ogidi, that existed in present Enu ani area, that was attacked and destroyed by invaders (?Bini warriors) leading to scattering of her people.

Point is that Igbo history is deep and all interwoven.
Every attempt to create artificial Omanbala identity, that would deny us the chance to study Igbo history better, will always be resisted by well meaning Igbo people.

I doubt he can trace Umuoji history directly to Nri, a part of Umuoji history talks about migrants from Arochukwu during formative years of the town. The likes of him would have such detail buried and denied just to promote his Omanbala agenda.

He isn't any different from the Anioma people hell bent on their Bini agenda or those interested in creating a new Anioma identity totally detached from Ndiigbo.

Pazienza, ana esi na unor dili mma wee puo ilo. The people who live around you today are your brothers. Agwago m' gi.....Stop chasing shadows. There Ogidi people who bear Omanbala as last name , same as Umuoji.

Just to correct an impression, Umuoji outdates Aro...Infact ,Okodu have very clear history of "Ikpo nhu" na Agukwu Nri. Now, ask me what is "NHU"

Calling us Aro is an insult. It's a mere speculation. We have a written history of Umuoji and we are blood relatives to Nkpor and Abatete. Some villages also migrated from Ogbunike and Umudioka. You of all people should know better.

Oji Nnaa!

THE USELESS MOD KEEP HIDING MY COMMENTS AND FULANI ATROCITIES IN ANAMBRA.

NYTHING SHORT OF BRUTAL REVENGE WILL NOT SUFFICE.


THE ONLY LANGUAGE FULANI UNDERSTAND IS BLOOD AND MORE BLOOD.

That's why I said Obiano has failed,largely. Obiano has not done much to stamp out this fulani intrusion. We need fearless people like Muoghalu or Chidoka.
