Chino going with your logic we will now tag Gozie Okeke and Njideka Okeke and other countless musicians from Anambra as inferior because they are using the Izugbe langauge?


Whatever happened to your sense.

ChimaAdeoye:
You are responding to all these yorubas that will suddenly find fake "patroitism" and indivisibility of Nigeria once they hear the word "Biafra"

Fortunately for them, they helped Biafra in no small way by campaigning for the incaceration of Nnamdi Kanu and invasion of his home last year to totally silence him through murder.

I don't approve of Nnamdi Kanu's tactics of insulting people and using ONLY one approach. But Ndigbo are well within their rights as citizens of this world to hold a referendum to determine their future. It is indeed an article in the UN Human Rights declaration.

My only hope is that Nnamdi Kanu understands that there are multiple levels that have been used to tie Igbos down in Nigeria. Such as through giving them 5 states, while others had 6 or 7, giving Igbo states the tiniest allocations, denying Igbo states of any Federal infrastructure, while using all sorts of gimmicks to create controversies on the existing such as AIIA, Enugu, Second Niger Bridge, Onitsha seaport, exclusion of the zone from national railway masterplan etc. to hide their true intention of shutting down the SE economically for good. We cannot merely keep talking "Referendum" for infinity, while our resources are stolen and used to develop other parts of Nigeria. Either we STOP the resources from being exploited and exported or we get a fair benefit from them as we decide what shape and form the referendum will take.

Finally, we cannot simply abandon the politicial space just to prove that we want referendum. The full struggle for political power and equitable representation in Nigeria must be pursued with the full force as the referendum debate. Imagine if somebody like Sen Abaribe were not elected, which Senator would have signed Nnamdi Kanu's bail if we had people like Orji Uzor Kalu and Chris Ubah as Igbo senators? Therefore, you can see the folly of IPOB abandoning electing pro-Biafra representatives into all our public offices.

My strong suspicion is that DSS already knows that if all SE public office holders were pro-Biafra, then the topic will inevitably be discussed at the highest levels of government. Therefore, they have spread the silly idea among IPOB that voting for elections in Nigeria amounts to voting against Referendum. It is so sad, but it is true that we IPOB now works for the enemy. Unless something is urgently done, IPOB will simply lose all its grassroot support and in time, they will increasingly be treated as Boko Haram members by even Igbos who will clearly view IPOB as not representing Igbo interests whatsoever.

The ONLY thing Igbo had going for it in Nigeria have been the use of their God given brain to avoid the traps set for them by the Nigerian state. IPOB has so far showed that it is neither concerned about using the Igboman's brain to fight this struggle, nor do they have any desires to avoid booby traps set for them by Nigeria. It is a tragic mistake on their part to continue with a single strategy in the face of their enemies employing multiple strategies to cage them. Including trying to isolate their opinions in the SE. Because IPOB are run by a lot of exuberant young people, their simple response to any trap they cannot easily find a way to avoid is to step right into it and deal with the consequences down the line. That will be a suicidal mistake to make.

Kennycyphers:
But really I think before Nigeria can work properly as a country, the unifying factions should be called to a round table to decide if they wish to forge ahead or not. This issue of politics is dividing us on daily basis and certainly one faction will always feel cheated or marginalised. I buy the idea of Tony Nnadi of 2013/2014 that was calling for a New Nigerian.

Sustaining the legacy projects of past administrations in Enugu State

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's administration has grabbed the bull by the horns as it commences action towards completion of the world-class state-of-the-art Enugu International Conference Centre, in keeping with its vision to promote investments and robust climate of Ease of Doing Business to boost socio-economic activities in the state and create more jobs for the teeming youth, among others.

Recall that the World Bank Group recently rated Enugu State as the second most advanced state in Nigeria towards the frontier of global good practices with regards to Ease of Doing Business.

The landmark project was initiated and built to this level by former Governor Chimaroke Nnamani's administration.

Enugu State is truly in the hands of God! #amokelouis

Buhari is a genius. He wrote waec at the age of 9

Waec was established in 1952 and buhari as at today is 74Yrs.
Buhari wrote waec in 1961. Pls do the calculations and see how
The criminals in Aso Rock is making mockery of our nation and education

Buhari must Go. He is a total failure and completely uneducated to rule a nation of great and educated minds

SeverusSnape:


Oluwole Attestation.

Why was he unable to get it in 2015?. Ask yourself that question.

Buhari will soon get attestation certificate, B.Sc in cow rearing, University of Daura.

ckenneths:
THE ORIGIN OF IGBO LAND PLS KNOW YOUR ORIGIN IT IS WISE AND EDUCATING TO KNOW YOUR HISTORY AND FAMILY TREE LINE AND WHERE YOU ORIGINATED FROM .
They documented some of our history in your bible but you don't know. IGBOS BIBLICAL GENEALOGY.
Let's begin according to Genesis 29 verse
30: JACOB had
twelve (12) sons namely:
#1. Ruben
#2. Simeon
#3. Levi
#4. Judah
#5. Dan
#6. Naphtali
#7. Gad
#8. Asher
#9. Issachar
#10. Zebulun
#11. Joseph
#12. Benjamin.
The 7th son was GAD.
and according to Genesis 46 vs16. GAD
had seven (7) sons
namely:
Ziphon
Haggi
Shunni
Ezbon
Eri
Arodi
Areli.
Sometime in Middle East, famine struck
and Jacob moved
with his family and about 70 other
relations to Egypt.
But before then Joseph (which was 11th
son of Jacob) had
already been sold to Egypt by his brothers,
where he was
made Governor General under a King
Pharaoh.
As time goes on when the Pharaoh that
knows Joseph died,
they started suffering persecutions from
the hand of
Egyptians but ERI the 5th son of GAD
foresaw the danger,
persecution, and wickedness coming and
he decided to
leave in time with his two younger
brothers, ARODI & ARELI
with one of his half brothers.
They travelled through Ethiopia, Sudan
and down towards
West Africa through river nile and landed
at a place known
as AGULERI today through Omambala river
in Anambra
state, around 1305 BC.
(I) ERI established and lived close to the
Omambala river.
He was wealthy and wise like his great
grand father
(Abiama) Abraham.
That is why Anambra state has the
highest number of rich
people in Africa.
ERI; had five (5) sons:
(1) Agulu
(2) Atta
(3) Oba
(4) Hebrew/Ibo
(5) Menri
(1) AGULU; as the first son stayed back
and established in
the place known as Agulu-ERI (Agulu son
of ERI) in
Anambra state.
(2) ATTA; moved to upward North and
established a place
known as "IGALA Kingdom " and that is
why their overall
KING is known as "Atta of IGALA" in Kogi
state
(3) OBA; left and founded a place known
as Oba Kingdom in
Anambra state.
(4) HEBREW; which have been changed to
mean Hibo or Ibo.
He was very powerful spiritual man and
that is why people
from this area are always very spiritual.
He left and founded Igbo-Etiti, Igbo-
Adagbe, Igbo- Eze
(within Nsukka and parts of Anambra).
(5) MENRI left and founded a place known
as ""AgukwuNRI".
NRI Kingdom.
(II). ARODI moved to a place known as
"ARO- CHUKWU".
Very industrious and good at arts and
crafts.
(e.g: Aba Ngwa people of Aba).
ARODI gave birth to:
(1) Nembe
(2) Ngwa
(3) Abakaliki
(4) Ogoni
(5) Afikpo
(6) Aro-Ikot Ekpene (Akwa Ibom )
(7) Aro- Echie (Rivers state)
( Arondizuogu.
During slave trade Aro spread all over the
world. America,
Cuba, Brazil and "ARO-festival" is always
been celebrated
in CUBA.
(III). ARELI was a man with a lot of
Wisdom. The native
tongue of his descendants is today
known as "Central
Igbo". And people from this Area have the
highest number of
graduates and professors in Igbo land.
ARELI gave birth to:
(1) Owerri
(2) Umuahia
(3) Diobu (River state)
(4) Okigwe
(5) Orlu
(6) Nkwerre
(7) Elele (Mba Ise)
(9) Mba Ano, etc...
ERI half brothers moved and founded
IJAW nationality and
some parts of Edo State and many other
parts of Niger
Delta.
EVIDENCES and SIMILARITIES:
Now to verify some of the things I have
said above.
(1) If you get to Aguleri there is a
particular house known as
OBI GAD (house of GAD).
Remember GAD was the 7th son of Jacob
(Gen 29:30) and
GAD had five (5) sons of which the last
three (3) who were
ERI, ARODI and ARELI and some of their
half brothers left
Egypt to West Africa).
The OBI GAD was the resting or relaxing
place for ERI and
his brothers and they named it OBI GAD in
order to honour
their father (GAD, the 7th son of Israel).
This OBI GAD was
the first house built in Igboland. This is
the reason why
every Igbo man always build a place called
OBI/OBU in his
house in honour of his father and mainly
for relaxation and
in the olden days, there is always a family
shrine or little
oracle, and why they worship Oracle then
was because they
left EGYPT before GOD gave 10
commandments to Moses
for the Israelites, of which one of the 10
commandments is
against idol worship. (even though
modern day Igbos now
build OBI as outside BAR without any
Shrine, while some
Christians don't build OBI anymore
because of their beliefs).
It can also be Called ERI TEMPLE.
The Obi GAD also serve as a Consulting
place for some
royal fathers from other community that
have Direct root to
ERI.
ANOTHER EVIDENCE.
(2) At the Burial place of ERI, there is a
TRINITY TREE
standing on the grave site.
These are three Trees but are strongly
United and
connected by Single Tap Root.
(3) "ADA" means first Daughter in Israel
(Gen 4 vs 19- 20)
and it means the same thing in Igbo
language.
(4) Before an Igbo man makes a
contribution in a public
gathering, he will shout "Igbo kwenu "
and the people will
respond "Yah" and "Yah" is short form of
" Yahweh.
Yahweh is the name of Jewish GOD.
(5) STAR OF DAVID AND some bronze
medals Encrypted
with Hebrew Codes were found in many
part of the Igbo
land.
(6) Israelis (Jews) manufactures 80% the
world weapons
and 70% of USA weapons.
Just like Igbos manufactured 80% of all
the weapons used
during Biafran. Which no other African
nation has done.
Igbos were only defeated during the war
due to Hunger
policy.
By now, we would have manufacturing
war weapons for
Africans, and no country will have to go
outside Africa to
purchase weapons to fight Insurgency, if
not for the bad
policy of Nigeria.
Igbos are the most highly technologically
inclined people in
the whole of Africa.
You will also notice that Igbos always
handle the post of
science and technology and industry in
most Nigeria
ministerial post.
The first West African billionaire is from
Nnewi: Chief Sir
Louis Ojukwu.
The black Indigenous Vehicle
Manufacturers eg:
INNOSON MOTORS AND
COSHARIS MOTORS,
Indigenous MOBILE PHONE AND COMPUTER
MANUFACTURERS eg:
(A) SLOK MOBILE (Orji Uzo kalu)..
(B) ZINOX COMPUTERS (Leo Stan Ekeh).
(C) SLOT MOBILE (NNAMDI EZEIGBO)
(D) Father of internet and founder of the
fastest computer in
the world (PHILIP EMEAGWALI) etc.
(7) We carry home our dead ones just like
the Israelites
(Gen 49 vs 29-50). (Just like the Israelites,
we were led or
ruled by Elders and Priest.
There was no King in Israel until Samuel
appointed Saul as
the King of Israel and that was why
Israelites were led by
Prophet Moses and so many other
Prophets.
CONCLUSION: Isreali Ambassador (Noah
Katz) Confirmed
that Igbos are Jews. (Check Daily Sun
Newspapers 28th
March 2004).
Therefore, Igbo are the Engine Block and
Japan of Africa ,
no wonder an Author with international
reputation,
"Emefiena Ezennia" said that "In Biafra
Africa Died". We are
good people, we love our neighbours, we
accommodate
anybody. We can live everywhere and
develop anywhere. It
is in our blood to develop.
We need Igbos to develop Nigeria, Africa
and even the world
as a whole, we are God's people, a chosen
generation!
Nigeria should stop the marginalization of
the Igbos and the
Biafrans or let them have their freedom.
For the Igbos we should know who we
are, dream and think
bigger, for you are the son of the most
high God, the God of
Abraham (Abiama) believe in yourself and
work harder as it
is in your blood, every Igbo parents should
endeavour to
teach their children Igbo language and
culture all the time! Mba nile nwere ihe ha jiri di EBUBE# EDUCATION AND UNITY IS WISDOM. share this knowledge and wisdom to 1000 people and give me back yes �
you will see the power of God of Israel in 7 day

Copied from a WhatsApp group

This is truly excellent chronological flow of verifiable FACTS!

I'm waiting for the faceless Yoruba goons to come here and spread their fake census numbers.Like, 99% of those that speak Igbo in Nigeria are actually Igbira people and other fantastic concoctions they love to do in Nigeria.
Yeye people

Obi1kenobi:
This sounds like a good compromise. If there are Nri efulefus who have invented a Jewish lineage and rejected their Igala or other West African roots, that is fine. They can keep their Jewish claims to themselves. Since majority of Igbo clans claim no ancestry from Nri, can the rest be left out of the Jew-claiming madness.

So, Jew claimers, is this a good enough compromise? Can you limit your Jew claims to Nri and leave the rest out of it?

You yorubas are scum of the earth. Why are you so concerned about Igbo heritage than yorubas that fell from the sky?

You are too incoherent for any reasonable person to engage with a deluded iidiot. Again, you have agreed through the post above that it was not Nnamdi Kanu that suddenly "invented" Igbo lineage and Igbo Hebrew ancestry. Now it is "Nri efulefu" that invented it and according to you, majority of Igbos didn't come from Nri . When did you carry out the census to know majority of Igbos are not from Nri??
Yorubas just like to manufacture their own version of history to suit their agenda

Yet, your yoruba efulefus cannot trace your Bini roots, instead hang on the silly lie that Oduduwa fell from the sky without parachute and remained alive without any fractures from that fall to produce yorubas?? With which woman if i may ask? Fulani girl?

Obi1kenobi:
Mr man, better stop deceiving yourself. There are no "remnants" of Hebrew language in the Igbo language. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. It's a figment of your delusion. Research has already linked far-flung groups of common origin together. Any black man in America or Latin America for example can trace his exact genetic links in Africa to a high degree of accuracy. Ashkenazi Jews that lived in Europe for thousands of years can track their roots, right down to what tribe in Israel they come from and some have even linked with their precise family tree despite leaving Israel thousands of years ago. Igbo people are genetically identical with other Southern, Niger-Congo tribes in Nigeria. What I still don't get is why not claim Jews are descended from you? That might even make more sense - despite the fact it would also be unsubstantiated rubbish. Why claim that you are a Jew if not because of your inferiority complex, because you think they are superior to your black ass? Why not allow Jews claim that they are descended from you? Why attach yourself to an alien race far smaller than you in population?



No, sir. It doesn't cut anybody's intestines. Your Jew-claiming fraud doesn't hurt anyone other than Ndigbo. Nobody is impressed by you claiming a fraudulent heritage. They simply laugh at you. Your comment only proves that Jew-claimers do it because they think claiming to be Jews elevates them over other black ass niggas. It's driven by ignorance, or inferiority complex or both. The fact remains though that you're Igbo, as were your ancestors. You're not a Jew, you were never a Jew and you'll never be a Jew. Be proud of your Igbo heritage and cure yourself of you inferiority complex.

vanbonattel:
That dude is Yoruba like many of them here. The possibility of Igbos being Jews tears their intestines out.

Obi1kenobi:
Loool......no archaeologist have made such a conclusion. None. There are zero artefacts. Zero relics. Zero monuments. There is absolutely nothing to base it on. CNN simply regurgitated the same myths Igbos tell themselves. CNN is a liberal news outlet that seeks to connect the world. They never stated it as fact that Igbos are of Jewish heritage.

There is nothing to "go back" to as concerns the Jewish faith. Our ancestors never practised Judaism. And please, I have tackled these things several times and people still keep coming up with these circulating claims: every word you claim there to be similar between Igbo and Hebrew are fabrications. I've checked a Hebrew dictionary for many of those words and there was no correlation or similarity at all. Jews don't call lion Agu or first daughter Adah or anything like. Genesis is not even a Hebrew word any more than "Exodus" or "Numbers" are Hebrew words. It's an English word derived from Greek. I don't know where these things were manufactured from but they are frauds. Igbos that claim to be Jewish do so because they feel more pride in the Jewish heritage than an Igbo one. Which is a disgrace for our culture. I will never tire of debunking the myth. I'm sick and tired of it.

Obi1kenobi:
It is not a fact. At all. It cannot be substantiated in any way. There is no similarity in language. Anytime someone claims a Jewish word is the same as an Igbo word, use a Hebrew dictionary and you'll almost always find the claim is false. There is no similarity in culture. Out of thousands of elements that make up one's culture, you can't say because of your circumcision traditions that that is enough to make you similar in culture.

Obi1kenobi:
Israel is a small country of just over 8 million people. World Jewish population is estimated at 12 million to 15 million. Igbos are around 40 million. Why not let Jews claim to be Igbo? Why Igbos claiming Jews?

And no, Israel's value system is not closer to us than Yorubas.

HegenIkomkeh:
Obviously Nigeria has been worse off on all fronts since muhammudu buhari assumed power.No question about that.

Obiano should do something about the poor state of roads on most areas anambra

Xander85:
Musical intermission!

Can anyone argue with the fact that the most enduring songs ever to come out of Igboland were recorded in the period preceding and after the civil war? I think it has something to do with the pains and emotional scars of the upheavals and civil war of the time being channelled into music! Same thing could be said about the American black civil rights period of the 60s, as the most enduring and evergreen music was made by blacks mainly during this period; think of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke.

The spotlight in this post is on Harcourt Whyte....an Ijaw man that sang some of the best (if not the best) Igbo gospel songs ever! Another one is Sir Warrior and his Oriental Brothers.

Harcourt Whyte: Nna Chebe Nwa Gi.

Feel free to add yours...those songs that remind you of your parents or magically transport you to the late 60s and 70s when you listen to them.

Omeokachie:
Even lunatics roaming the streets are feeling the effect of misrule by Buhari and his gang of recessionists.

front4line:
For Igbo Nigeria will be beta of under a renowned thief just so they can have their way. How many people have to loud it that Atiku is a theif ? Imagine that is why Igbo want us to vote n labeled Yoruba tribalistic because we said no.

I swear Igbos will cry blood come 2019.

hammerFC:
Nnamdi Kanu have resurfaced, they have started visiting Igbo states and govs.

It will be much better if they fix Enugu to Onitsha Federal road or even complete the Enugu international airport.

Let us not mention second Naija Bridge.

They want to play on Igbo Christian kind heart to deceive them.

Ndi nzuzu are the only ones they decieve and we have ndi nzuzu plenty in Igbo land.

If only southeastern leaders understood the goldmines that they are sitting on especially a City like Aba.

The leaders of Abia State have been monumental failures. Videos like this, even 10% of it will remain a complete pipe dream unless the current caliber of leadership changes immediately.
