You will be ignored if you talk like a street urchin. But keep my mention out.

Obi1kenobi:
See the convoluted twaddle he is spinning. Of course I know you will never concede the point out of embarrassment and delusions of intellectual grandeur, but your ramblings above make no sense. A cultural melting pot has nothing to do with richness in a monolithic culture, but a harmonious balance between various cultures/sub-cultures in the same place. Cities like London and New York are called melting pots. They are the total opposites of a monolithic culture. A city like Pyongyang is an example of a monolithic culture. Anambra is not culturally monolithic in any way. A cultural melting pot cannot be a monolith. You're far too thick to understand the contradiction and I'm giving up indulging the same cyclical arguments as it's a waste of my time.

And biko, a tradition other Anambra communities copied from Nri traditions doesn't make the state a mono-culture. Neither is it some important invention. You make it sound like we split the atom or discovered DNA or pioneered a space mission because of some recognition system of elites in our society.

This is completely senseless. You have a major comprehension problem. I have claimed Anambra has a monolithic culture and backed it up with intimidating facts but you are yet to support your weak argument with a modicum of fact and convince us ,neither have your disproved my points. The joke is on you.
Again , Anambra is a cultural melting pot because of the ricnness of their culture....That is a cultural PARLANCE!

Until you are ready to challenge the facts I laid dont quote me again.

Obi1kenobi:
Who other than an ethnic supremacist speaks like this:

Yes, I stand by that word because most of what is known as Igbo culture today originated from Anambra.I dont see how saying am better than somebody makes me a supremacist. Then,again, you are not the brightest bulb upstairs...lol. You havent been able to debunk the facts i raised you are just hanging on the clif....lol

Obi1kenobi:
If a place is rich in a "variety" of cultures/sub-cultures, then it is not "monolithic", you thicko. How many times must such a simple concept be repeated before it percolates your skull? Again, the Nze na Ozo tradition is not exclusive to Anambra clans and has its specific roots in Nri, which was subsequently adopted by many other Igbo sub-cultures both in Anambra and outside. You have no substantive point, so I'm not sure what you think has not been "debunked".

This guy cant possibly have any brain matter in his skull. Anambra is a cultural melting pot because of richness in culture.Anambra is culturaly monolithic because of the cultural structure of the people. Nze na Ozo was introduced to Udi people and some Orlu groups. Nze na Ozo is not a tradition you just wake up and copy, it has very elaborate rites...Ofeke ! You just dont invite people , play the Ufie and wear a red cap...Ofu ogoli! Most Imo towns doesnt have Nze na Ozo, Abia doest have it, its rare in Ebonyi but 100% of Anambra towns practice the noble culture. Anambra is a monolithic society....There is a little thing called context in English language.

We are still waiting for you Bini children of Italian harlots to furnish us with the evidence where Obi of Onicha claimed Bini ancestry.

Your little Kingdon cover a tenth of Edo but you want to claim Anioma...sickos

SlayerForever:



Show us where Obi of Onitsha acknowledged any Edo roots

Leave these dreamers...lol
These people for some strange reason actually believe Bini kingdom was larger than the little town of Bini ...lol

prolog2:
Asaba is part of Delta state which was part of Bendel which was part of Benin Kingdom.
The Obi of Onitcha himself aknowledges his Edo roots and the Edo origin of his crown.
Nowadays, there are too many folks like you who just believe they can make up their history and write off what they don't like.

At no time did Obi of Onicha ever claimed Bini origin...Delusion every where

Obi1kenobi:
But he can say he is related to an Aguleri or Aguata or Awka man because the military drew some lines on a map, abi? The Nze na Ozo tradition is hardly exclusive to Anambra communities though more predominant.

And no, there is no "like manner" thought process. You can try articulating specifically what they are if you care to. It's profoundly stuupid to foment some kind of homogeneous identity based on military era state creations. And grammatically illiterate to describe an entity as a "monolithic" one in a sentence, and then call the same entity a "melting pot" in the next sentence.

Bla bla bla...grammatically illiterate....bla bla bla.You are grasping at straws. You have not debunked any of the points I raised. Reading your post is like watching a wet paint dry, its lifeless and lacks conviction. Melting pot also means a place is rich in culture because of the variety. I have also explained in details some traditional practices common among Anambra people. Every Anambra town has Nze na Ozo and that is the foundation of our sociocultural structure because they are the ruling class before the white man arrived.

Can I make this any clearer....Like 1 +1 is 2....lol

OMAMBALLA1

This your thread sef.
Lemme say something to you:

Moving from Ihialla to Orlu, or vice versa, you won't know that you are moving from one state to the other due to age-old cultural, linguistic and blood ties between Orlu and Ihialla people.

Abacha created states and drew an imaginary boundary between Ihialla and Orlu, that's all.

Your efforts to separate kins from Ihiala and Orlu are ...

But in Orlu if an Ihiala man come looking for a job every Imo man will be considered ahead of him...
Orlu people still refer to an Anambra man as ndi ogwu ego. Where is the love. Nwata choba nke ya asi na ogbalu ajo

Obi1kenobi:
It's certainly common sense, and illustrates how state lines are meaningless in defining culture. Yet, that common sense proved elusive for the clown that called Anambra a "monolithic" state. Examples of these things Ihiala people have more in common with Awka people, than their Orlu kin.



I'm bemused you don't see the contradiction in claiming a state is "monolithic" in one sentence and a "culture melting pot" in the very next sentence. Those are mutually exclusive concepts. You can either say a state is monolithic which would suggest indivisibility, common ancestry that is exclusive of outside groups, common traditions in every enclave, right up to the dialect spoken. Or you can accept identity is fluid across a continuum with mixed ancestral ties, migration histories, traditions, cultures, dialects and even languages like the native Igalas. You're certainly a "full barrel". Just happen to be full of shiit.

The towns under Ihiala like Azia ,Orsumoghu, Mbosi and Isseke are brothers and they do not have any kin in Orlu just neighborly relationship. Ihiala dance the Ufie/Uhio and take Ozo title and that solidifies them as pure Anambra. We share alot in common culturally and that has gone a long way to arrange our thought process in a like manner. Ihiala man can never say he is related to an Orlu man because they are not kins.

Xander85:
There's something not quite right about you!

I am a psychiatric patient...Now ,you get it.

I have been busy, no time to write extensively.

You are yet to state the cultural practices that relates an Ihiala man more to an Orlu than his Anambra kind. You don't belong to this thread, go to sexuality and drool over women of easy virtue. Yea, want women half naked you PERVETED soul.

Obi1kenobi:
Careful now, sunshine. You're beginning to sound a bit demented. Are you off your medicine?



Not just an ethnic supremacist clown over his own Igbo kin, but also a misogynist who thinks women owe him any rationalizations or justifications over what they do with their bodies. And a pretentious moralist too. It's clear you have some screws loose, nigga.

When you have something meaningful to say I will know. Don't turn this into a market place....I don't engage in public bickering. When people are bereft of what to say they resort to insults.

And the only wish of these elements is to dissolve Anambra ,so badly. And they will always add..."I am even from Anambra" ...We believe you, now, come and be going...lol

I want God to bless Umu Omanbala and lift us greater than the tribe of Judah.

We , as Ndi Anambra must change if we intend to lead the black Africa out of shame and disgrace.
Pray for Anambra daily.
Pray for our governor, Akpokuodike.
Pray for our royal fathers.
Pray for our mothers.
Pray for our children.

Say a prayer for our father land in your heart 3 times everyday.

Igbo Izugbe , to begin with must be scrapped because its an affront to our language.
Anambra man must be very disciplined and dedicate themselves to learning and deep wisdom.
Immorality must be destroyed in society because it clogs the mind from learning and discernment.
Any man that is always having sexual thoughts and can't behave properly when they see a beautiful woman is a,weakling and it sad to say many Anambra men are like this.
Any man who doesnt pray about 3 times daily is not a true man.
There is no way we can move forward if we dont change the way we think and do things.

Indecent dressing by our women must definitely stop and we must make sure our girls remain virgins before marriage
Our girls must cover their body and dress classy , grow their natural hair from childhood and have confidence in who God made them.

Some of these guys that have no affiliation to Anambra are probably married to non Anambra woman just like some of our women who will marry anybody just out of desperation to get married. Time will come when if both your parents arent from Anambra then you are not full Onye Anambra. A lot of people parading themselves as Ndi Anambra has weak mind and can't make tough decisions. Some will sleep with anything in skirt and God has no role in their life but we must rise and fix the mind of our people because they are lost.

If you have no Anambra identity then stay in your little village and keep quiet. Don't even appear here because this thread reeks of Omanbala identity. Open your village thread and gather your kinsmen and have fun with ghosts.

Obi1kenobi:
An Ihiala man has far more in common with an Orlu man than he has with an Idemili man. An Onitsha man shares more in common with a number of Anioma clans in Delta than he does with an Awka indigene. An Odi man in Enugu has more in common with many Anambra clans than he has with an Nsukka man. State boundaries are geographical/political expressions and don't entirely correlate with heritage. There's nothing "monolithic" about Anambra. Some years ago, when my elder sister wanted to get married, my mum initially quibbled with her choice of suitor because the guy was from Awka. No Igbo states are monolithic in any way, including Anambra. I'm pleading with you people to stop propagating this supremacist nonsense here. It's a mental illness. It's disgusting. It's borne of an inferiority complex than manifests itself as pomposity. It tarnishes us as Igbos on this forum, both to non-Igbo outsiders and other Igbos and I cringe when I see many of you Anambra bigots do it. Listening to and reading you braggarts, I often begin to understand why many Igboid groups in the South South are either hesitant or aggressively reject the Igbo identity. I'm yet to see any thread here where Ogun people are regaling us with how superior they are to the rest of the Yoruba race - despite being by far the most accomplished Yorubas.
Stick to the chest beating as an Igbo man attacking "afonjas" as many of you love to do. I find that embarrassing, but less embarrassing than this rubbish. You're not better than an Abakaliki or Wawa man just because you were born by Anambrarians. You're better than people based on who you are as a person and what you've done with your damn life. Grow up!

I have done justice to this issue of monolithic culture of the Anambra people but your head is too thick and nothing can penetrate it. Its a common sense that people who live in the periphery of the state tend to share culture with people they border on the other side. Its not rocket science, so, stop sounding like a broken record.

An Ihiala man doesn't have more in common with Orlu man because what he share with the greater Anambra people is larger than what he share with his Orlu neighbor, moreover, some of these Orlu people are migrants from southern Anambra. Its a known fact that Mbuluchi Nri introduced many Anambra culture to the Orlu areas. For instance, Arondizuogu practice Nze na Ozo a tradition exclusive to Nri and their neighbors.

If you say Udi has more in common with an Awka man than his Nsukka brother you have to be specific like I did with my earlier post where I listed in fine details what Anambra towns have in common that makes our culture monolithic. Anambra is a culture melting pot and we borrowed and share these cultures That's the beauty of it.

Onicha man shares very little with the Anioma man and if you think I am wrong publish those cultural attributes. You are an empty barrel that makes a lot of noise for the sake of it. You havent done your home work properly, everything is mere assumption. If you have no proof I suggest you shut up forever. This thing you wrote up there is trash because you cant back it up with any facts. I dont care about how an Ebonyi , Enugu nor Imo carry themselves because its none of my business and be careful how you accuse people of things you cant prove.

Stnomso:
I am from ojoto. A full blooded ojoto.. And who told you 90% of nnewi don't know anything about omanbala. If you don't know . omanbala is the present day river Niger.. Stop misleading people. You cunt

NonsoWow:
Chino, OMAMBALA1, oneeast, Yyeske, juliusmalema and all the true Anambra blood here, to say that I am proud of you guys is an understatement. I have been away because one mod felt insecure but you brothers have kept the flame burning. As you can now see, the hate on Anambra by our inferior neighbours is real. Our divinely endorsed supremacy intimidates them. Our progress annoys them. Our monolithic character/culture frightens them. Our resolve frustrates them. The okada ban has taken off and many wawa and abakaliki criminals and lowlives residing in our state will be forced out of the state back to the backward caves they came from. Next month, August 1, work will commence to demolish many waterfront settlements where those foriegners live. Anambra must be purified and cleansed of these wawa and abakiliki people for our state to move to the next level. I am sure we are all enjoying the new looks of Onitsha metropolis and Awka since the okada ban came into force yesterday.

Nnaa, no need for this. Its severely demeaning and offends God. And just to correct an impression if misrepresented , I am not here to beat anybody down rather to uplift the image of Omanbala. I dont want an Anambra that oppresses others.

sassysure:
Why will an anambra man feel superior to igbos from other states?
Isn't that the height of stupidity and inferiority complex?

What makes him different from fulanis who feel that they are the king of Nigeria.
Will u guys stop this rubbish.

Rather, feel big that igboland is developing at a faster rate. It's true some states develop faster than others, it happens all over the world but that shouldn't be used to chest beat to ur brothers.
And this chest beating is sometimes very annoying and irritating. There are multiple ethnic groups in this forum but none chest beats like my people.

Counter people with constructive arguments that will differentiate you from the park and not this chest beating stuff.
I blame this on our traders. Where u see small boy chest beating and insulting an elder because he happens to find some coins in his drawer. It has spiralled out of control and we have brought that to the internet, to the extent that ones look down on fellow igbo brother.
So shameful.
If u feel that ur fellow brother isn't growing at us pace,meet him at the middle.

Is this how it will be when and if we get biafra? Anambra will start lording over the other states?
Count me and those around me out of this craze.

Another wailing waller on the weeping floor crying about his pains and sadness of which Anambra people has no hand in.

I have been mocked , derided and ridiculed by these same imaginary sister states. They tagged us ndi ogwu ego, illiterate traders, fake Igbos(the funniest one because they are all living of of our cultural inventions) and all sort of disgraceful names just to beat us down but I kept shut. My co worker here said Anambra women are uncouth but I never attacked back....But the moment I say OMAMBALA NNEM, IFE DIKA GI AKONA M' the weeping starts and complaints floods in...lol. "Omanbala you have a superiority complex"," you have low self esteem thats why you are proud"(this one is from Obi1kenobi an authentic ofeke lelu oba ji nnia), " Anambra are not real Igbos, they are Igala and Benin"....My goodness, when are you guys quitting this weeping.

Have ever had that friend who is happy with you but as soon as you became successful he turns to an Enemy. Go through my post history and show where I attacked or derided your fellow Igbos but you can't because it doesn't exist. You are just painfully sad we are proud of our fathers land. You want us to keep quiet because it helps your low self esteem but sorry I can't control what goes on in your mind. Pray and ask God to give you the mental strength to fight these weakness. No man is perfect, we all have flaws. Daalu

mistacoco:
undiluted truth.. And you can never see lagosian saying that Lagos feed all the state in southwest or better than all the Yoruba states.
That why I don't support this biafra of a thing, anambra state will be the Hausa/fulani of biafra.

Where did we as Ndi Anambra put anybody down on this thread ?? Point it out or keep shut !

oneeast:
Obiora Olisah(Obi1kenobi), I am from Uga for instance and the day my town is carved out from Anambra that is the day I will join my wife who is from Nnewi and start being an indigene of Nnewi. Because I can't stand the trauma of not being an Anambra indigene. It is a thing of pride belonging to Anambra family. There is this feeling of joy and fulfilment you get each time you pause and remember that you are from Anambra. It is something natural and it exudes with confidence in us. Anambra people are naturally in love with their state anywhere you find them.

In our late daughter Dorathy Akunyili's words when Obiano visited Houston, Texas...Read this, "Its a privilege to be from Anambra"

In Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's words at Women center Awka...."Anambra dialect is elegant and posh"

Omanbala nnem, onye na aburo ona ebe!!

Obdk:
Dat guy trashed u with fact and u resort to insults.

Though I don't support his inferiority complex and Anambra hate. Every other thing he said is true.

Nobody trashed anybody, like I said I will start where I stopped yesterday. I was in a hurry when I wrote my short reply. I will come back to that post. And just to clear some things up, I never preached hate nor put our neighbors down I just want my fatherland to be the best.
Remember, I am a true Omanbala boy.

I will not pander to your weakness and ignorance but I have noticed a common denominator about people that challenge me here, they never contributed positively to the upliftment of the Omanbala society. What would I feel insecure about , give me a reason as an Anambra man to feel insecure to anybody. Go through my post history and quote anywhere I drew comparison to Abakiliki people, Imo nor Enugu because your ffoolishness is legendary. You barged in here with your low self esteem of which is not any doing of mine to accuse and belittle my post yet you havent done your home work.

I have listed in my previous post some cultural practices shared among Anambra towns but like the ffool before you whom I have put to sleep you jumped in laden with bruised emotion when you dont know jack about Anambra and our social structure. You are the same guy that claimed Awka people are from Udi before I jumped in and slapped you around with a comprehensive history of Awka people...Many have fought me here and they go home bleeding and your case wont be different. Anambra share a monolithic culture and I have explained that in my previous post. I will continue with you ffools tomorrow.
