A big shame indeed.
I think the problem here from my observation is that most people especially Igbos really don't ask relevant questions from their elderly relatives, all they do is visit the village, catch some fun, see other relatives from other places and they leave for their bases.
Do you know that I've met people with surnames like Onoja, Attah etc who are from Anambra, everyone should know that those two names I mentioned are pure Igala names with no meaning in the Igbo language and some people here expect us not to acknowledge them and worse of all we should deny any link with them.
I am very proud of my Nri root and Igala as well, proudly Omambala, proudly Igbo.

Nwanne, we know these things , and thats why we must stay on this issue to drill it into every Anambra man and woman. Some Anambra people have strayed but we will correct that problem. We will keep hammering on it till the news go around. We will not relent in our resolve to completely reform the mentality of of the Anambra man. I have spoken to Chino before and with time we will move our clique out of Nairaland and proceed to build a strong organization that will seize power in Anambra and entrench our ideology.

And , yes , those names, are truly Igala. Even the Delta Igbos they are crawling all over the places begging to accept Igbo identity has Igala ,too.

The community spirit

Community spirit of Ndi Ngwo.. I love that because I am all for like people doing things together. God bless Ndi Ngwo.

Now, just like Ndi Ngwo are working together to lead a healthy life style because health is wealth Umu Omanbala are equally working together to build a homogeneous society. Bravo!

Visit your country home this Christmas and ask some older relatives, you could be surprised you even have some Bini and/or Igala roots along the line.
I was discussing with a colleague some months back who jocularly calls me "nwa Kogi" because I told him about my Igala root, he went for a burial in his village and made enquiries but guess what..... he as well has some Igala connection too.
Guess again where he's from? Udi Enugu state and that was when the "nwa Kogi" stopped after he learnt about his ancestry.
You guys should realize that there were several migrations in the past and peoples intermarried as well.
The Igbo nation wasn't static, I won't be surprised if some Abriba, Ohafia people have some Efik or Ibibio connection as well.

Its funny you told him that because Okija people migrated from Ogidi in Idenmili, my next door neighbor. And Ogidi had western Igbo link and is related to Akili Ogidi in Ogbaru who are western Igbo descendants.

But he had been here insulting Igala and Bini people...What a shame.

Yyeske:
Please unfollow fast because nobody invited you here in the first place.
The Ikwerres, Igbouzo(Ibusa in Delta state), Ugwuta(Oguta in Imo), Obigbo(Oyigbo in Rivers) denied us after the war but our Igala kiths and kins stood by us and suffered with us and you want us to deny them now, impossicant.
Do you know that a part of Onitsha called Odoakpu(check it up on Google map) is actually Igala in origin and name?
Do you know that some villages in Onitsha today are actually Igala in origin even if they've all been assimilated into the larger Igbo group?
Do you know that the state government has been trying to revive the Igala group in the state so that their future generation wouldn't forget who they are, most don't speak nor understand Igala and even bear Igbo first names with Igala surname?
I and several Umu Omambala support this and really commend the state government for this.
Now I've educated you a bit, you can now take your Igbo supremacist idea out of the thread.

Odogwu, imelu ofuma. Daalu, rie nne. What you wrote up there gladenned my heart.
Igala peaceful and loving to us , Omanbala. Most of these people insulting us doesn't know some of us has Igala root. Ndi Igala are so hardworking and persevering.


Odeke Igala!
Odeke Aguleri!

Bede2u:
From wat i can see from this thread so far...Anambra people are the next people that will do an 'ikwerre' on ndiigbos again.

They are the next people that will deny being igbo and start pushing for an 'omambala' tribal identity. A sad thing...but nothing concern me again....i will quietly unfollow this thread.

Nwokem, calm down. We are Igbo still but I think people are misunderstanding our ideologies and intentions. Anambra will always be Igbos but we want to guard, nourish and advance our culture and the legacies of our ancestors.
Again , we are Igbos just like you but the core of what is known as Omanbala are strongly and tightly. related and connected.

Yyeske:
Thanks bro and I'm one from Awka with an Igala blood line, don't really seem to understand why some dudes are bittered about that fact.

Alot of Igbos like the many you see here reason like Nnamdi Kanu, uncouth and deeply ignorant thats why they lack the skills of diplomacy. Igala has been both neighbors, friends and brothers to us,for many generation but you can see the iidiot who are trying to use us to start unnecessary conflict with our Igala btothers but UMU OMANBALA nwelu Amamife even those who disagree with us. You can never see people like Pazienza nor Obi1kenobi insult people unnecessarily.

Insulting our Igala blood line will never fetch them favor from us. Dont worry they will never win this.

Odeke Igala!

IkpuMmadu:
Otolo , Amichi even Orsumeghi speak alike ....Amichi is just 5 minutes walk from Nnewi town

Ihiala is far from Nnewi ...Nnewi is only related and close to Awka Etiti, Amichi, Ihiala , Orsumeghi, Ichida

Be careful in order not to be pulled into attacking your Anambra/Omanbala brothers. Dont play into their hands. All Anambra groups are inter related. Onicha has Nri, Okodu(Abatete, Umuoji and Nkpor) has Nri, Awka has Nri, Oraifite has Nri, Oyi has Nri, Aguleri has Nri. Obosi is related to Ojoto, Dunukofia with exception of one or two towns are related by blood and according earliest recorded history of Nnewi they have Nri.

Dont let a foreigner tell your story, be A MAN!

ideynl1:
These ones shouting are either the Igala migrants into Anambra. The Yoruba boy (yyeske) has gone into hiding.

Mind you efulefu, Onicha has Igala, Awka has Igala, Aguleri has Igala ,Oyi has Igala and alot of Anambra towns has Igala blood line running in our blood vessels and we are danm proud of it! You are not anywhere better than Igala people....Onuku Igala!

basilo101:
You have now proved that obosi has a different dialect strictly for them alone so we are on the same page.

Oga , let it go to reduce the emotional trauma.

basilo101:
Are you more anambra than pazienza. Do research instead of emotional rants

Anambra people are equal. And I don't rant, but you on the other hand has a deep seated low self esteem.

basilo101:
OMANBALA1, This is a quote from pazienza on page 73 when I have not even joined the thread. Do research and stop spreading ignorance

I don't get your drift. What's in contention ?

basilo101:
By the time colonist arrived, enugu-ezike was the largest town in eastern Nigeria. Same population with kano city as at then. Now enugu ezike is just one town out of many in nsukka axis. Anambra was a scattered hamlet then

I am happy Enugu Ezike is was the biggest civilization in the history of black Africa. Now , can you go and rest...lol

basilo101:
Support your fraudulent claim with facts or discontinue the fraud

But you are not from Anambra and according to your rhetoric we are inconsequential and our dialect is inferior and we have no hegemony ,but you still can't sleep...Remember what I told you pages back, your mind has been chained!

basilo101:
That is a fraud. A a lame attempt to cover up the fact that anambra is made of disjointed villages and never had a large hegemony

Guy, are you still on this issue?? Disappoint me for a second, please.

NNEWIsuper:
nkita rachakwa gi anya there, efulefu ka ibu...you can be proud of your useless igala route for all i care..now i get it even clearer that u an igala stock in anambra and u are here making useless noise

get this straight to that your useless empty igala skull...we nnewi supreme has nothing to do with aguleri/umuleri let alone of an empty hogwash of an igala person..swerve

nnewi will never marry from aguleri/umuleri..go and kee yourself

Osi n'obu Nnewi supreme....lmao
What a clown

NNEWIsuper:
nnewi is supreme and we will never marry from igala mixed aguleri/umuleri and worst of all from that backward ozubulu,

This iidiot is not from Anambra. And I am super proud of our Igala kins, our Aguleri which has some of the most beautiful Igbo culture and their "ive" variant of "ife". Ozubulu have deep and rich culture with many successful individuals...I don't mind been from there neither do I mind to be an Igala man. You are too inconsequential for your opinion to count. Ezi offia!

NNEWIsuper:
i am from nnewichi....i dont know if u knOW NAUTH...as my house is just 10 minutes drive from that hospital
2 nnewi people were killed in that ozubulu drug war in that catholic church and u expect me to form monolithic Anambra online because of these miscreants i do not know were they are from claiming anambra is monolithic

i have no business with anybody from ozubulu...

if u like romance with the killers of your own people to form one fake unity...

I want to know what is your real intention with this your Nnewi noises?? I have been watching you to see where your headed but it seems you have nothing tangible to add here. You are nothing but a miserable attention seeker. No town in Anambra is bigger than Anambra, its a privilege to be from Anambra.

Obi of Onicha is not where he is today because of Ndi Onicha, it Peter Obi and Obiano that elevated him to that status and he is a humble and graceful man. Watch what you say next, assumed you are from Nnewi because an Nnewi man is eternally and intrinsically Anambraic....Again, its a privilege.
I will try to ignore you because people like Emeka Maduewesi who is one of the most vocal Nnewi man online is super proud of Anambra and pays homage to Eze Nri.

If you are truly from my state ihere megbue gi for this atrocious post. Kindly change this moniker, you are denigrating the anambra name

You sound like a mad dog that need to be in chains. Unnecessary emotional outbursts is for mentally weak people. Next time calm down and ask me questions like a normal human and I will explain myself,otherwise keep quiet , or , I will hurt your fragile mind.

Osagyefo98:
I now hold the view and strongly agree that some people are living inn great world of illusions.......serious illusions........Imaginary world.......should I say indeed plato was right.....Achebe was right.


But I will summarise it in little igbo adage. “uwa ka nma na nro”

Nwanne, you can spot a mad man when you see one. Just ignore the ffool and because its a distraction to engage such people.

In the future Anambra will enact a law that will make it absolutely impossible for Ndi Anambra to marry non Anambra persons. I have noticed that men invloved in inter state marriage tend to be culturally weak minded. Men like Peter Obi, Stella Oduah as opposed to Victor Umeh and Obiano. This will make our culture to survive and become even stronger because iron sharpens iron.

I will also advise other Igbos to toe this lie for preservation of your culture as the ultimate sacrifice for your fatherland.

Ndigbo muo nu!
Zuo nu!
And Long live Eze Nri, Enwelana!

More on abia pics..... This is ABIA MALL, at umuahia

Bia, how are we sure Umu Alangwa did not uproot this structure from another man's land and float it across ocean?

Xander85:
Please just shut up!

You've been rumbled, and we all know you're equally one of the monikers or another pathetic mofo out to derail this thread!

You are being uncivil and disrespectful. Not everybody will swallow everything Pazie writes hook ,line and sinker. Pazie appeals to Ndigbo not Umu Omanbala because he contributes nothing to our course but I still love him.

TEDHorsePower:
What about road? Assuming bridge does not cut it. You don't have any of it in ABIA STATE. SHAME

Sweet road!

Keep quiet joor....yobo carried the last afcon trophy not Mikel.

Kanu is an arsenal legend

Your Mikel is good, but not good enough to stand with Kanu okay?

I stand corrected. Currently Mikel is a god in Nigerian Soccer and Iwobi is warming up...lol

superlightning:
Enyimba FC is your father in club football

Kanu Nwankwo is greater than all your footballers join together

Stadium nko? Which one una get? Lol

Losers

Kanu Nwankwo won Champions league and so is Mikel.
He won the Premiership and so did Mikel.
He won Olympic Gold and Mikel won both silver and lifted the Nations cup as a captain.
The only Kanu edged was African footballer of the year.

But if I start rolling out names of great achievers from Anambra they will call me chest beater...lol

superlightning:
You keep dancing round the same area in awka.....the bridge.... And Onitsha.... What else? Nothing!

Bloody losers.....lol

Anambra major towns are developing with the speed of light. Aguleri/Otuocha, Onicha Ado/Idenmili, Nnewi ,Ihiala /Okija , Ekwulobia.

Now, Anambra streets are very clean and I am not talking about those 20yrs old pictures circulating online, I meant Anambra of today.

superlightning:
Keep fooling yourself....onye oshi.... Claimer....we dash you t.a. orji.... Nonsense....

You can keep T . A Orji with a million dollars on top...carry your bad luck go,biko.

Meanwhile, it's unfair to compare Abia and Anambra...Its not an even comparison. I hate to mock my fellow human being because Abians deserve better but the state have many miles to go before they can meet up with Anambra. You 'd be shocked if you visit Anambra rural schools, health centers and roads.

superlightning:
Thank God for the urban renewal going on in ABA today....

EDUCATION? A particular i-too-know state follow ABIA for back

MSME? ABA OWNS THAT

SPORTS? Some states have no thriving football club or African footballer of the year....Lol...last time I checked they were fighting hard to claim nwankwo Kanu....lol

Kanu Nwankwo's family were originally from Ihiala...This is a fact set on stone! There was an actual ceremony held in Ihiala with Kanu in attendance. I doubted it initially but its true. But you can keep Kanu, we dont need him.

superlightning:
And your impotent anambra state is alive?

Education, we are above you

FDI, we are above you

MSME, we are above you

Sports, we are above you

You only surpass us with the MOST POLLUTED AIR IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.....

Abia is number one in WAEC yet they have tbe worst education system in the country and of all the debates by secondary school students going on never won a pencil...Keep on with your systemic exam malpractice.

Which sports are we talking about. Anambra is one of the best in grassroots sports development. We are not talking about Enyimba here. Government doesnt run sports club , its for private investors like Ifeanyi Uba FC..MSME ,FDI ? Who did the survey ? Theodore Orji? Lol

Lol. He constituted nuisance to the polity. He should carry himself with class befitting of a governor. Nobody care his individual CV. He should modernise his state to acceptable standard

Obiano has attraction more investment than any governor from South East. Fact.
Anambra has the best intra state road network in South East. Fact.
Under Obiano the scourge of exam malpractice has been completely defeated. Fact.

Looking at indices of development Anambra has performed better than most Nigerian state give the meagre resources we have. It's takes a genius to achieve that.
