I am sure you are an ipob, see your hero, he understands that the origin of Igbo is Aguleri. lol

tochukwuifediba:
Aguleri Ndi side Kogi cannot and can never be the origin of Igbo nation this is a Big 419 fraud nothing like Obu GAD its another 419 to get money from Ndi Israel

Man of the year in a jungle state. He has used the state allocation to buy award for the next election. Just look at what they call school in the 21st century. Enugu state is so backward that even a war torn Bornu is now better off. Failed governor, failed state.

Aguleri is the origin of Igbos, it is where you have Obu Gad, even Nnamdi Kanu who is from the dead Abia state had to go to Aguleri to pay homage at Obu Gad in Aguleri because he recognises that Aguleri is the origin of Igbos. Where you will see mostly non Igbo settlement is most parts of Enugu state, particularly Nsukka down to Ngwo. Languages spoken at Nsukka upto Ngwo is not Igbo language, they speak a mix of Igala and Benue language, but they are part of Enugu state. If an Nsukka person speak his language you will never understand it but if a Delta-Igbo or River-Igbo speak you will quickly understand it. In a nutshell Delta-igbos and Rivers-igbos are more Igbo than people from most parts of Enugu state.

MetaPhysical:
@OP,
If you are talking of historical ties, yes, you are correct. In fact, the whole of Northern Igbo territory, Anambra State all the way to Nsukka were colonies of Igala. The reason Igbos wear red caps is because the land was at one point under the rulership and suzerainty of Igala kingdom. We are under a new polity now and Anambra cannot be counted as North, not even Aguleri. Matter of fact, Idah, the capital of Igala Kingdom should never have been a member in Northern region. So let the issue of Aguleri going to North rest, no need for it. However, you are correct about Obiano supporting Buhari. I believe the two of them have a personal friendship that goes beyond ethnic difference and or party and religious difference. That's fine. He should not be demonized for having a Northerner as friend. Obiano is always on trips with Buhari, Im surprised he did not go with him to Poland.

Chef2000, you have started what you cannot finish. I am coming with Aba thread brace up. Instead of you to face your dead Abia state you are busy with a progressive Anambra.

NNEWIsuper:
yes Aguleri people are northerners and that is why that useless obiano supports buhari...Aguleri should be merged with kogi state where there came from

[/s]

These are envious bitter people, they are against Obiano because he belongs to a superior Igbo stock only found in Anambra in the entire SE.

Corrinthians:
They've gathered to curse Obiano, their best governor, simply because he has refused to submit himself to their hate ductrine.

You people need serious deliverance.

If you check the language and character of Nsukka people you will notice that they are not Igbos but Igala. The people that are called Igala in Anambra are pure Igbos with the same dialect as Onitsha people. Most people from the present Enugu state are mostly none Igbo stock with most of them having their origin from Benue and Kogi, this explains why most dialects in Enugu state are none Igbo. Igala people of Kogi and Benue people decimated the entire Enugu north area and occupied the place, they have also moved towards Ngwo, they were totally pushed back by the Aguleri warriors when they tried to infiltrate Omambala, they eventually overran Enugu state and occupied the present Nsukka up to Ngwo and kept expanding

Asshurbanipal:
If you look at the map you will see that igala land stretches southwards deep into anambra. The reason was that igala invaders were defeated in nsukka axis and pushed westward into anambra territory where recorded more success. The Aros had already settled Nsukka before then, plus the unfamiliar hilly terrain and the horsemen from Opi. Igalas fled to the plains of Omanbala basin and sacked all communities there who fled southwards . If you check Nsukka is densely populated on the igala boundary while anambra is scantily populated on the igala boundary

How did rats invade a whole Aso rock Presidential office, when there is no rat in my house.


This is because no two persons have the same finger print.


But Nigerians are too empty headed to see this.

Lol.. Jubril leave our country

We already knew that, the problem is whether Jubril will agree peacefully to handover power

Not good enough

It must be signed

Ok

Hehehehe.. chai wawa slavish cannibals suffered yet another humiliation and heartbreak.

Mister, where's the N40 per liter PMS?

Let's see how Bubu will react now

Tarabans are fearless

Dino my man

Photoshop gone bad

What sort of insecurity is this? Owerri and Imo state in general is the worst place in the SE. Owerri is the worst town in the SE, even worse than Aba. I still don't know who cursed Imo state and why. See the new face of your Owerri below. Owerri is a rural area in all indices of development. Owerri is a mad house, chaos, disorderliness, bad roads, fifth and total lack of government presence. Among all the states in the SE & SS, Imo state is the most backward and requires total demolishing. Owerri can best be described as a jungle. Face the fact which the picture below presents. Pictures speaks far better than any useless long grammar.

nnamdijonathan:
My visit to SGL church Ikoyi, Lagos shows that Anambra is still looking underdeveloped. You guys here saying that onitsha and Awka are beautiful need to visit Victoria island, Ikoyi, old lekki and banana island all in Lagos to see what beauty is all about. From the 3 Igbo trends on nairaland ( Enugu, Imo and Anambra trends), I have seen that Enugu state looks local but has as much green environment as Ikoyi which has made some places like New haven and Independence layout as beautiful as Lekki, in Imo state, only Owerri is beautiful in the entire state but it is clearly the only resort city in Nigeria and the most beautiful Igbo city with moderately clean and green environment with nice structures and houses all around the city. Owerri is surely the most beautiful in Igbo land and it is the only city that can stand up to Lekki and Ikoyi in terms of beauty but can't stand up to Banana island and Victoria island because of lack of buildings of 9 storeys and above. As for Anambra, Onitsha and Awka are the most promising metropolis in Igboland but they lack greenery and are not serene in any way. The fast developing communities such as Awka, Nkwelle etc lack paved streets while the roads that are paved are dirty with red sand everywhere and they lack grass, flowers and trees. Not to forget, they is only one high rise building in the entire Igbo land and it is in a rural community in Anambra not even in Onitsha or Awka. As for those of you who think those houses in Onitsha are high rise buildings, you all should think again because a building is tagged high rise when it is up to 12 stories not 4 or 5 stories. From the pictures shown in the different trends, I can tell you that the most beautiful cities in the SE are Owerri at first place, Enugu at second place, Onitsha metro at third place and Awka metro at fourth place however, If the shanties in all major markets in Awka and Onitsha are destroyed and the house owners are ordered to paint their houses with bright colours as well as plant flowers and trees and government does its own role in paving 90% of the streets in these metropolitan areas, Onitsha metro, is definitely going to be among the most beautiful cities in Africa because it presently has the multi story buildings in place to give it a modern city look. All Onitsha and Awka metros need is just polishing and strict laws which must be obeyed by all house owners but for now, believe it or not, Owerri is the most beautiful city in the SE and SS regions and not coming here to deceive yourself.

Karzastan?

Yeah nwanne m you are one of the people i respect so much here even with all my "naughtiness". lol

As for the land, while you are checking out some with Spider, also remember to check Anambra Property Development Company in Awka, they just might have lands within your budget in one of their land-banks in Awka.

ChimaAdeoye:
My bros, I don't have money oo! Just managing over here.

This one is just to follow others to do that i have investment in my state. But all the land they saw are like N10 million and above.Minus settling community boys and the goat for land. It's too high nah!

Spyder don't mind her, nurses are the most paid medical professionals in America. My elder brother is a nurse in Sugarland, Texas, so i know everything.

Mrs. Chima no vex, na joke

ChimaAdeoye:
In 2015, they were paying as high as N120-150K per year in Uli/Okija axis.

There were no water supply borehole, No Electricity and the roads in front of the place were the WORST in Africa.

Infact, i cam back to the US and advised the parents to remove the girls from those schools. But they managed to graduate.

Oga Spyder,
Remember our telephone conversation a few weeks ago. I'm coming back this month. Biko, arrange with my bros to find me land in Awka or Enugu where i can build. Preferably in Awka.

Biko, i don't want too expensive land (N4-6 million) will that we okay?
Biko negotiate well on the land, remember i'm just a nurse and not a business man like you big shots.

Beautiful Anambra children

Students of nowadays are living in "luxury". Beautiful hostels like this could not be found in Nigerian universities neighborhoods during our time as students. Now students are enjoying private balconies. It was even roofed with step-tiles.

Bro wetin you find for hostels?

spyder880:
Hostels.......

Ngeneukwenu--corruption is pighting back

It appears that everyone is just working hard to send Bubu back to Daura.


Obj right now

The 3 men that caged Bubu

I have some additions to make. I have read several accounts by foreign and Nigerian nationals about owerri as the worst sh1thole in Nigeria, Africa and world at large. owerri was recorded as one of the most polluted cities in 2016. All the major towns in Imo state- owerri, orlu and okigwe were recorded among the most polluted towns in 2016, now the 2018 owerri equally recorded as among the most polluted places on earth. I think our igbo leaders should start doing something about imo state, particularly owerri because it has turned to a complete sh1thole and dungeon. owerri is a disgrace to the igbos, it is littered with bad roads, filth, flood and all manner of environmental mess that has made Imo state people to rush out in their millions to Onitsha and Enugu where they can live a better life and earn a decent living. Today there are over 2million imolites living and working in Onitsha. In owerri people eat and drink human faeces because their borehole waters and food are contaminated at their backyard because there is no pipe borne water in the entire Imo state. Aba has surpassed owerri in cleanliness and infrastructure. Igbos should join hands to save owerri because it has become a thing of shame to the Igbos. Recent study showed that owerri must be demolished to the ground if it can be rescued. However this take a political will to do so, as we don't know if the incompetent failed governor who has not been able to clean filth and fix roads can afford to do so in order to save the town. It is time Igbo leaders, Ohaneze etc, take up the mantle and do what is right in the sh1thole called owerri once and for once.

Ofuzo:
You are a complete DUMMY. Some of you backward mentality people couldn't recognize excellence even if you are SLAPPED with it. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT MEDIOCRITY IN IGBOLAND. Not really surprised that some of you are offended about it because YOU JUST DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER. All you know is what you have lived with all your life. That's why I keep advising people like you to visit other developed places even here in Africa.

There's no sugar coating it. There are some places in igboland like aba that makes me ASHAMED TO BE AN IGBOMAN. I have read articles written about onitsha and aba by white people that depicted the place to be a complete shithole. Somebody here on nairaland even posted a study about air pollution, and igbo cities of aba and onitsha were in the forefront as the leading cities in nigeria with the worst air quality. As usual, people like your DUMB ASS tried to refute the study, which is EVIDENCE of living in DENIAL. Any human being from an advanced CIVILIZATION, who set their foot in igboland will immediately conclude that the people who live in this environment are very BACKWARDS. The first time I returned to nigeria after being away for about 12 years, sent shivers down my spine. The entire landscape looked like Hiroshima and Nagasaki after an atomic bomb was dropped on it.
We have practically done everything the wrong way. We have built our houses with the wrong materials. For example, instead of building with an assortment varieties of bricks, tiles and granite, whose outer surface lasts forever, we used block and cement. The paint job on the cement starts to peel off after a few years. We built GUTTERS and called it DRAINAGE. The gutters end up becoming home to sand, refuse and congealed slime. We have zero environmental sanitation system. The entire igboland is buried in heaps and heaps of refuse. The aba portharcourt express way is LITTERED with mountains of refuse. Because we don't do any LANDSCAPING whatsover, the land is ravaged by erosion. One of the reasons why our roads are covered with sands is because of so many untarred roads, but also lack of landscaping our environment. There's no running water in our cities. We have substituted water treatment plants, where the water is treated before distribution, with BOREHOLE water that is not treated. We have buried all our human waste (raw sewage) in our backyards. Think about this for a minute. If aba or onitsha, two igbo big cities have one million houses, the human beings living in these million houses are essentially LIVING WITH THEIR PEE AND POO. If you don't know how DANGEROUS that is, you should read a UNICEF study about the possibility of borehole water contaminated with faeces. Because of this large-scale environmental degradation in igboland, OUR RIVERS ARE DYING. Some of our free flowing rivers I saw as a young man in the seventies are all DRYING up. That is very very dangerous because rivers and not boreholes should be the source of our drinking water.
We have no rules and no regulations for everything. People are trading everywhere and anywhere, on the street, sidewalks, median strips, with thousands of others carrying stuff in their heads hawking one thing or the other.
The SHOCK about all these things I've raised, is not that it's happening in igboland, but why did WELL MEANING INFLUENTIAL IGBOS KEEP QUITE ABOUT IT. All I hear is how aba and nnewi is the Taiwan or Japan of africa; or how abiriba is small London, which to me, have to be the biggest joke of this century. It's an INSULT of monumental proportion to compare aba and nnewi with Japan or Taiwan with anything whatsoever. Building big houses with giant pillars does not make abiriba or any other igbo village with big mansions as comparable to London.
So you keep reproducing and inventing new names on nairaland to post comments, but in the end, you are one psychotic, demented useless igboman, that you need to check yourself to the nearest psychiatrist hospital.
