[size=13pt]^{woowww i know the '' Delta Careers College '' very well , back then i was residing near to the giwa amu road . oh that's another memory you've brought back to me .} [/size]

Migwo! I just de angry with uduaghan for the way he de snail do ordinary airport road round about for 3 good years.

asha 80:
You are talking with too much emotions.How did Ojukwu bring war to the delta igbos?Where the Delta igbos in the defunct eastern region?The former eastern regional house of assembly urged Ojukwu to declare biafra.How did the delta igbos come into this?Are you are aware the Delta igbos were in the then midwest?

As for insinuating that biafra brought war to delta igbos are you aware that the majority igbo guys at the forefront on the nzeogwu coup where delta igbo?Do you know Nzeogwu's and Onwuatuegwu place?

You say you grew up western nigeria.It is better you have a balanced view on what led to the war.

I admit that emotions are high. Dem eastern igbo pickin de vex person too much. Pls try and make a review of the 1966 coup. Its was a pan nigeria coup and not nzeogwu coup coz actors from other ethnic groups were involved as well. Nzeogwu was not even the leader of the group according to colonel Ademoyega in his book "why we struck". Nzeogwu would not have over ran the north if he didn't have the backing of northern soldiers. I didn't say ojukwu bought war to delta igbo ALONE. Other groups were affected as well. I know that delta was a part of the midwest. Ejoor was the military governor of the midwest. The point i was trying to make is that it is wrong to fight a war without allies coz no one can win a war alone. Its wrong. Even america with its military might don't do that coz its morally wrong to fight alone

@ 006. On what delta\rivers igbo has gained from denying igbo, your reasoning is not too bright. Delta/ rivers state is MULTI ETHNIC with urhobo, ijaw, itshekiri, isoko, etc unlike eastern nigeria that is ONLY IGBO. So delta igbo cannot win election alone without teaming up with other ethnic groups in coalition. In 2007, delta igbo teamed up with urhobo using godswill obielum. But ibori bought over the urhobo elders with stolen money and imposed his cousin as governor. U are now castigating delta igbo like as if they could have produced the governor alone. Even in the south east, if obasanjo, a Yoruba man could rumbled anambra, predominantly igbo state using andy uba, how do you expect delta igbo to dominate delta state that is multi ethnic? I can't speak for rivers igbo coz i don't know much about rivers politics. U asked what we gain from denying igbo, go and read udezue's post on why some deny igbo or better still go to asaba or kwale and see for yourself. I however admit that no matter what the situation may be, it is wrong to deny who you really are.

ezeagu:
You guys should leave Delta Igbo alone; go and stay with your Mountain Igbo if you're from the Enugu area, your River Igbo if you're around the areas of the Cross River, Anambara River or Imo River, your Atlantic Ocean Igbo if you're from the Port Harcourt area, your Forest Igbo if you're from the center east of Igboland, You're Sand Igbo if you're from the Northern Ebonyi area and your Rice Igbo if you're from the Abakaleke area. Other minorities like the Coal Igbo, Eastern Delta Igbo and Niger Igbo are also included!

Abi o. Dem ojukwu pickin mo de hear word. No be by force make person de answer igbo. If a hutu man say e no go answer hutu again coz of hutu genocide against tutsi, na im own wahala. Leave am alone.

@ 006. Why u come charge emotions for here again? We are talking about grand strategy here. What is wrong is wrong. Is it right to have involved the delta igbo in the war when they were not consulted? That's a very bad strategy. Tell me why did the ijaw, urhobo and other groups in the SS fought on the federal side? They were angry. They didn't threaten biafra in any way, yet biafra bought war to them. If biafra had taken the war to the north they were fighting, o.k. But u bought war to the door of innocent people and expected them to support you. Even though the delta igbo supported their brothers, it is wrong that they were involved actively without being consulted. That is demoralisation. If the Yoruba, bini, et al had been persuaded to team up with the igbo, things wouldn't have been the same today. If you don't see what is wrong in giving other people trouble without consulting them, na your own wahala. Ever seen america in a war without allies? You don't fight a war alone (as in case of vietnam) and expect to win. People just suffer for nothing. On bakassi, i beg to disagree. Gowon gave bakassi to cameroun coz biafra was using it to import arms. Is it delta igbo's responsibility to talk out/secure a place that is closer to biafra and was also used to import arms by biafra? Who do you expect to listen to minority delta igbo when the majority eastern igbo is quiet. A man who caused the ruin of a place is blaming the man who helped him secure the place (delta/rivers igbo) for not talking when the place has been ruined. Irresponsibility in its highest.

delta state, wahala state

Delta wahala be small thing when compared with ekiti,oyo, or ogun wahala

I HAVE A 1989 E280 IN NAIJA, AND I CAN TELL YOU IT WILL RUN CIRCLES AROUND MOST OF THESE SALVAGE REPAIRABLES THAT SOME ARE RUNNING AROUND IN , SO PLEASE LEAVE THE ORIGINAL POSTER ALONE,
I HOPE THE POSTER FINDS A BUYER FOR HIS CAR,

U talked total rubbish! The reason why nigeria is under developed is coz of people lik youEven in the U.S, do policemen drive 504 peogeut lik naija police? 75% of accidented vehicles in naija are -15 years old. Pre 1993 cars are so annoyin wit low horse power, noise, toxic fume, archaic design, weekly visit 2 mechanic, shame & fear(of breakdown) of driving old car. THERE's NOTHIN WRONG WIT BUYIN A ACCORD 2002 FOR N700,000 IF U CAN AFFORD IT. Which economic, psychological, spiritual and moderate sense btw a 1991 car for N300,000 & a 2001 car for N700,000? If ur answer is stil 1991 car, den maybe u com from koma wia pple use 2 wear leaves til de were discovered @ 7 yrs ago. Kolo, cheap & poverty mentality is NOT GOOD.

SLIGHT:
U guys could go on and on and on, truth's that if u are italian u are italian, even if u speak roman, if u are hausa u are hausa, even if u speak hilanci, if u are igbo u are igbo,even if u claim ibibio.U CAN CLAIM WHAT U R NOT, BUT CANT BE WHAT U R ARE NOT,Even if it serve u right

Gbam!

Oya let me have some fun. I grew up  in the west but am igbo so i am in a better position to answer the question. Yoruba girls don't challenge men's authority like igbo girls do. But they pretend and procastinate TOO  MUCH. When it comes to hygine, igbo girls are better (maybe its coz water is more scarce in the west than in the east). 70% of Yoruba girls are conservative and therefore very hard to change.
They can be sometimes weird. My Yoruba friends in school use to talk about their sisters/GF hanging wet grey pants on louvre to dry. If you are getting married to a Yoruba girl, be ready to pay for everything in the house coz even if your wife is a millionaire she won't contribute a kobo- its not coz they're stingy. Just a mindset. As for igbo girls, they can be very arrogant and stubborn. Some can be very bad child raisers. They are more competitive and expensive coz they want to be on top in everything. So like someone said earlier, its different strokes for different people. Then someone asked me which do i prefer between cheap and expensive love-peddler. I said expensive love-peddlers coz they have more quality than the cheap ones. (Uses hand to cover lips)   

It depends on what you want the relationship for. If for friendship, any tribe will do. But for marriage, if you have a crocodile skin, if you like, marry hausa. But if you can't stand the stress that comes with inter tribal marriage, abeg marry from your tribe.

Hi, i just want to say- i jealous u guys that can speak igbo. (Laughs). Don't mind me o jare, can someone kindly tell me the meaning of my user name- OWENIWE, ISHICHELI, EBIGIDE and ANINE?

cantell:
No destroy my language for me.
First of all, Chicken in Igbo language is OKUKO not akuko.
There's no less formal way of saying kedu. Kedu is kedu.
Unless you wan slangs.

My grandma told me chicken in igbo means OKUKU. So from where did you get your OKUKO?

Darling, kindly merge or recycle the threads relating to the DEJI OF AKURE's deposition. They are too much. I can't count how many i have stumbled over while searching for current/ up to date threads. Thanks

*shakes head in regret*. I am sorry o. Its my over fast reading that caused it. Dear UDEZUE. But tell me is udueze an abusive name? I can't tell coz i don't speak igbo (one of my greatest regrets)

afam4eva:
Thre's this girl in my class. She's from Kwale. I told her she was Igbo and she said she wasn't. Then i asked what the name of her ethnic group was and she couldn't utter a word. Na so the ignorance take reach?

Dear afam, pls try not to ridicule anyone again coz u don't know why they do so. I de annoy with you o. You abuse my "sister" ignorant. If i begin to abuse you too people go de talk say i de uncivil, say i de deny igbo. I said its not by force to answer igbo. I know the reason why the girl did so and have experienced that one before too. I was born in lagos but grew up in abeokuta. When i was in JSS 3, the class teacher conducted a class census. We were asked to state our names, age, state of origin, and tribe. When it came to my turn, i answered oweniwe, 13, delta State, but when it came to my tribe, i got lost coz the only options that were given were ijaw, itshekiri and urhobo. Isoko was not even mentioned talk less of igbo. I was never told or heard it that igbo is an ethnic group in delta State coz delta is not part of the south east. Its like if you are an ijaw kid or teen from ondo who knows little about the state, if he/she is asked for tribe, the answer you are most likely to get is yoruba because ondo is part of the west and not south south and yoruba is the major ethnic group in ondo. When i narrated my ORDEAL later in the evening to my dad, he said i'm ukwuani. I said ukwuani is a local govt in delta. He said yes but its also a tribe. So when next  i'm asked my tribe formally, i reply ukwuani, but informally, i reply delta igbo. So don't blame the girl. And as we grow up denying this either ignorantly or to avoid discrimination, its built into our subconsciousness and soon becomes and regular occurance. So the term *Delta igbo* is our way of telling the world that we are igbo from delta State, not igbo from the east. But WE ARE STILL IGBO. @ UDUEZE. That was a nice response. U must hav grown up then so u understood d situation. The same cannot be said of the young children who don't know what's going on. I agree its very painful being forced to deny your root because of discrimination. It reminds me of kunta kinte being forced to change his name to toby after several whip lash in the movie "slaves". @ Chinenye- thanks dear. Our identity does not always reflect who we really while consciousness always tell us the truth about ourselves. Its like udueze's pop identity doesn't really matter but his igbo consciousness is supreme

[quote author=udezue link=topic=458875.msg6225528#msg6225528 date=]My father is Eastern Igbo and due to fear of discrimination back in the 80s he had to use my mother's last name which is Ibibio to apply for an oil block. Once the Eastern Igbo steps out of the SE he also faces the same discrimination. The block my father was looking for was in Rivers state which was under military govt of either a Northerner or that Ada George and they discriminated even against the Ikwerre, Ndoni so u kinda know why many of em chose to hide being Igbo. One of his business partners was also Igbo but his father na Ijaw so he easily passed as non Igbo.[/quote]Dear Udueze, thank you very much for your wonderful contribution. But i would like to ask you a question. IF YOU WERE IN YOUR FATHER'S SHOES, WOULD YOU DENY IGBO IN ORDER TO GET AN OIL BLOCK?

Alright, thanks for response. Mmm the way u dish out replies makes one think you are a IRON LADY. Stay cool and stay blessed

prebaff:
Well fair enough. but if u look when this thread started"South Africa To Beat Mexico 1 : 0 -- T B Joshua" then you'll know that the person that started it watched emmanuel tv life. and that video was uploaded after the match and not before the match.
So tomorrow is sunday and we'll see if anything is said about anything about the world cup.
and for you info i'm just like everyone of you.
So lets see what happens tomorrow on emmanuel tv u can watch it online if that would help and please put feedbacks.

abeg tell me mr prebaf, in what ways will predicting football match outcomes in the church main bowl add value to people's lives?

Dear moderator, i'm a rookie on NL and just learning how the forum works. I need tutorial on how to delete a thread/reply posted by error. (And kindly give some hints on how to delete with opera coz most double replies are made through opera.). Await your response. Happy day to you.

I'm from Ezionum, ukwuani LGA,Delta State, @ Adre Uweh- pls sir i really need you back in the other igbo tread. Thanks

Alright. Can someone come forward and give some other reasons why some western igbos deny that they are igbo?
