When the IDU people were fleeing Idu land..
a man called EZE CHIMA aka OHIME led his descendants to the present day Delta State...
He died in the present day Asaba his intentions was to reach the present day Anambra... His children called the place ebe anyi AHABA (which became Asaba)..
Some of his children settled their...
While the others settled at ONICHA Ado..(Anambra)..
Note: Ado means people burn out of wedluck...

And we are to accept all this simply because you said so. Where’s the evidence for any of this?

Remember when you tell stories you have to present some evidence that backs them up, otherwise they are mere fiction.
Just because something sounds good or plausible (the father of Igbos was a man named Igbo) does not mean it is true

So according to you, all southern Nigerians had a pre colonial interaction

I'm that guy who was initially not interested in igbo history...
Until I had a dream (revelation).... constantly...
I decided to carry out an investigation...
I came out with exactly what was constantly revealed to me.... ..
It may sound funny...
But you don't know me..

Exactly - I don’t know you, so I have to have some way of knowing your story is not fiction. Did you read Things Fall Apart? Who would believe it is ALL fiction?!

I did not highlight my point from Chinua Achebe....
It's a pity that Prof Achebe refused to write about our origin... even though he knows how useful it was...

I guess some people instructed him not to...so that it will not affect the so called Nri theory..

Achebe made it clear he was writing FICTION. He never claimed to be an expert of Igbo history. Unlike you - without one shred of evidence!

I guess you would have jumped (hip hop) if i had narrated how one imaginary Eri and his imaginary rival Nri gave birth to South East NIGERIA ... (Rubbish)

Let me ask you one question.. what was the source of those people you are expecting me to quote...
I guess God revealed it to them.. ..


It for fellows like you that prompted me to add this quote...". WHEN YOU IDENTIFY WITH YOUR IGNORANCE YOU WILL BECOME BOUNDLESS BUT WHEN YOU IDENTIFY WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE YOU WILL BECOME A CONSTIPATED
HUMAN... a CONSTIPATED HUMAN IS UNTEACHABLE..."

I don’t know what u r talking about. I don’t know any Nri and Eri. I only asked if we are to believe your stories simply because you told them - wether you have any evidence. If not, then it’s another fiction and we should respect it as such.

I posted this on Facebook ...
And from the way the Igbos, Niger Deltans and Yoruba responded... I have come to realize that the so called Igbo wisdom is an EXAGGERATION...
YOU GUYS ARE TOO RIGID AND UNTEACHABLE... especially those from ENUGU and ANAMBRA STATE .. IMOLITE are now behaving like that ..

Anyway thank God I'm not even Igbo...
We are just grouped as Igbo...
I'm NGWA from Abia state...

See, you know what is evidence! There is EVIDENCE of Igbo wisdom especially some specific villages like Nnewi (not all Igbo villages are wise, some are quite foolish). So, that is evidence. You lack that

WOW..
I don't think you can stand a face-off with me ...when it comes to western education, or even traditional education..
My knowledge of nigerian history, and religions history is beyond average.
YOU DON'T KNOW ME.

I think you misunderstood me. I mean that you lack evidence to support your stories.

Ok, here’s a history question Mr. Nigerian history. To which Nigerian soldier did Philip Efiong surrender to end the Biafran War, and in what village did the surrender occur?

Manifestation of mkpuru nmiri, soon you will have ijaw blood.

Behavior of an average Igbo man..
Is this your way of vetting ...
Even an ITIBORIBO can use Google to answer...
There are other ways of testing knowledge...
I'm NGWA and we don't throw tantrums.. like other south easterners... the same can be said of Abiriba and Arochuku people...
And every south easterners whose ancestors have Akwaibom and Ibibio blood... ...

Although I now understand your point...
I know I did not present evidence and fact...
and I'm not in a hurry........

I know google can’t give you the answer

Glad you understand. We’ll respect your story as myth and fiction and there is nothing wrong with that. Achebe is held in high esteem, though everyone knows his stories were totally made up,

Another fool on the loose. Igbos don't have Ibibio blood we are far too great shoulders and heads above Ibibio.
let your rantings be restricted online.
