Edodefender:
so why is he telling his people to drop Igbo culture?

Hey, ffoollish kings exist ,even in the bible. He addresses his folks in English...lol

kalvoken:
Oga change that word to OFALA. There is nothing like ovala in central igbo.

Obi gi adi n'oku, biko do!

Where are you from and what is central Igbo?

The other day I was listening to an Imo guy reciting Anambra chants in Imo dialect. You guys want to destroy Anambra dialects but it will never happen. From Onicha up to Aguleri say Ovala while Idenmili and their neighbors say Ofala. Today, Onicha say Ofala but they also use "V".

Nwata bu so mma.

Umuleri Oke Ebo na Omanbala!
Omanbala ebuka.
Omanbala erika.
Omanbala di ebube, di ugwu dikwa ngala.

Omanbala holds the touch of Igbo culture and shows the way.

basilo101:
Ifeanyi uba should reduce his afo nsi first

He is not a governor and he is not a heavy weight in Anambra political circle.

I just haven't seen the reason for all the hype Ugwuanyi is getting. For beginners I hope he loses some weight. Dude is obese.

Omanbala invented the Okanga culture and philosophy. Rich cultural heritage , wealth and wisdom.

Binikingdowm:
that's where igbos got it wrong, igbos are the migrants.

Firstly, who are the originals , secondly furnish us with facts.

Binikingdowm:
that's what I'm trying to say, just like akoko Edo/ondo axis are where Edo and Yoruba meet, same with this anioma case..

It's annoying seeing igbos claiming all

We are not claiming "all" we simply refused to let history revisionists have their way. Anioma have Bini migrants and huge influence from Bini but we must understand that there were people living there before exposure to Edo people and these people have a very profound and beautiful culture with a language that is still spoken today in Anioma land. That language is Igbo!

Binikingdowm:
read about anioma people and their history, I'm tired of educating igbos on this subject matter

You have no shame. You ran into this thread screaming Anioma are not Igbo just because you heard some ffoollish Anioma people saying the same thing and you think it's a good tool to use to mock the Igbos. When you were called to explain yourself you punked out....What a coward! Come and teach us Anioma history since you have suddenly became Anioma defender. Lets start with Igbanke and maybe you can tell me how they end up speaking Igbo.

Binikingdowm:
smh, Igbo tried taking over a defenceless region then the owners showed up.

You know the rest of the story

You meant the British showed up. Oga, carry your Edo abi Bini overbloated ego run comot. You know you are not a big player in the Nigerian or African sphere yet you wont keep quiet. The days of little village African kingdoms with cutlasses are over. Ever wonder why Bini dug a ditch around themselves

Omanbala Erika!

Binikingdowm:
but when igbos took over the region, which person led the attack to reclaim it?

Igbo did not take the region, they were just passing by and suddenly all the Bini warriors vanished in a split of a second....lol.

Binikingdowm:
history of igbos.

Slaves to benins then benins gave them to ijaw them to Yoruba then Yoruba used them until British came and freed them..

They made so much mouth when given little power until their cups full , they tried to invade Benin region then a Benin man killed 3 million of them.

Till now they are still irrelevant in Nigeria discussions.

They are always in other people States cause of the fugitive curse place on them.

#fact

I dont engage in beer parlour gossips. However, when Biafran army stepped into Bini there was nobody to fight...lol. Chew on that.

Binikingdowm:
is that why they always deny been Igbo?

Yes, a lot of them deny Igbo identity but if you were a little smart you should be digging into their earliest history as recorded by the British anthropologist that visited Nigeria and documented their true origins before all the ethnic conflicts erupted.

Today , Issele Ukwu king runs to Oba of Bini kneeling and begging for acceptance and you think you have conquered the Igbo? You are rather dining with an inferior in a kingly robe. Bini scholars know these people are not of Bini origin ,because they have no memory of them. Shame!

Edo people , I respect what you have going on in that your little Bini kingdom but we must learn to cut our coats according to our size. You are too little and inconsequential to squabble with the Igbo. Igbo people are dangerously influential. We are in every part of this planet hustling and making mullah! You Edo people are nobodies, full stop! You dont have any impact in the Nigerian populace, just because Igbos lost the war does not give you the temerity to misyarn.

Binikingdowm:
tell me what's the recorded history from their own side of the story.

Oya bring it lemme read

From Asaba, Ogwashi Ukwu, Ibuzo to Igbanke have Igbo roots. You are certainly not the sharpest knife in the drawer...lol. They have been speaking Igbo since time immemorial....No evidence of lost language. The most ancient Agbor kings have Igbo names. The current one is Keagborekuzi...lol. Abeg, drop that topic

Binikingdowm:
At least it's not a crime even in the developed world..

It's certainly better than millions of your people been killed yearly for drug related offence.

Or using your own family for ritual, kidnapping and occultism.

Still better than baby factory business your people engage In.

Other than drug dealing the rest you wrote exist in your own backyard. But , you have legalized prostitution and fraud aka yahoo yahoo

Binikingdowm:
that's different, we know it's history and we aren't trying to change it..

Just like this man trying to convince me how anioma are Igbo because they bear Igbo names, if we don't hold on to history, igbos will claim the attire

You are so daft. How can you even argue about what you have no facts on. You can't win that Anioma argument. They have recorded history

Binikingdowm:
There are no indigenous igbos across the Niger and no Igbo attire have beads.

Thieves

Well, nothing good will come from products of prostitution!

[quote author=Binikingdowm post=74214105] which unique?

Let's analyse that female attire for example.

That hairstyle is an Edo brand called okuku.

Everyone know the hairstyle and beads around the neck belongs to the Edo.

It's so shameful and pitiful seeing how Igbos throw away their original own and pick the Edo.

That's why Benin, esan, afemai either Christian or Muslim all have the same traditional attire.

Are Igbos indirectly saying they are from Edo?[/quote

The second picture is definitely not Igbo and if any Igbo dresses like that then they are borrowing.
When it comes to beads , we Igbos wear a different kind, which is reddish in color. Our beads are mostly from stones. No Nigerian tribe can lay claim to ownership of beads. Please, dont embarrass yourself

Kellibae:
This looks like white garment church goers

Ask him the origin of that garment....lol
He who lives in a glass house must not throw stones

Binikingdowm:
just go to bellanaijawedding page on Instagram for example..

40% of the dresses are Edo attire even Yoruba are letting go of their own , smh.

Not true, people borrow cultures and you are not left out. Oga, enter house ooo. Edo history is littered online but I don't want to deride you.

Binikingdowm:
yeah yeah I don't even like it seff.

Can your isiegu beat this?

You sound like a five year old. Why would you accept another culture is better than yours?

jafol:
Ive been wondering why they feature edo outfit on igbo women on Instagram. Wetin ipobs no dey steal. They know they dont have culture or dressing even agbada dem dey copy am and yoruba women's asoebi n gele. They r inferior n they know it

Inferior
Even your thought process is inferior. Yorubas borrowed agbada , ichafu means gele in Yoruba. Asoebi is an irrelevant practice. I hate when people dress uniformly at weddings. A lot of the words Yorubas use today are borrowed from Hausa. You are ignorant

deomelllo:
I just don't know why the ignorant people love to compare Lagos state, a state in Nigeria with sovereign nations and sovereign wealth.

Even the Lagos state Metro is a more complex and comprehensive project than what these ignorant ipobs are comparing it with, the countries they are talking about are not building a 10 lane freeway system with BRT access, they did not build massive Metro rail stations, they did not build massive Metro Rail bridge over any Lagoon or body of water.

This project is the largest public works project in Nigeria and Africa.

...but the ignorant chest beaters with nothing to show for their taxes and allocations in their towns and villages are here spewing their usual ignorant nonsense.

So, you know Lagos lacks the privilege of a sovereign state yet you run into this thread and started bragging about how lagos is better than some African countries? You and I know Lagos is a big hot mess and there is nothing to celebrate yet you wont keep your big mouth shut.

TAO11:
a typical developer sighted

Ask yourself if Anambra (for e.g.) is owned by the Yorubas. Apply your answer into answering the question of who owns Lagos.

Ask yourself who the hosts are in Lagos, and who the aliens are.

You just exhibited the "developers" syndrome up above.

You are a very smart example of what is wrong with a Nigerian youth. You lack basic reasoning skills, its pathetic. My attempt at addressing you gives me head aches because I dont know where to start from. But,let me ask you a simple question. What are you on about?

globemoney:
Look at this clown. Keep fooling yourself

I second what you were told. YOU ARE NOT FROM ANAMBRA STATE! Now, shut up!

The first picture is not from the Aba women riot

Governance is continuum. You don't expect Jonathan to finish all the projects he initiated in 8yrs. I hate duumb people!

ImperialYoruba:
Tell them a Yoruba man is fixing the darkness that Ibo threw us into in 1966.

Who are you talking about and what did they fix ?

Uche Achi Okpaga's utterances does not represent the thoughts of over 30 million Igbos. I will take what you post seriously when people like Nwodo speaks.
