UNTIL WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CAGE THE BIGGOTS AMONGST US, WE MAKE NO PROGRESS.


FROM NO WHERE, ONE WILL JUST RUSH OUT AND START TO TALK NONSENSE AND OTHERS WILL ENTERTAIN IT.

HOW DO WE MAKE PROGRESS?

The hatred an average Anambra man has for his Ebonyi counterpart is legendary, it's so visible that the Anambra man makes jest and mockery of his counterpart at every given opportunity.

If you visit let's say Onitsha and introduce yourself as an Ebonyian, you don buy market be dat
You would be subjected to all manner of mockery, derogatory words will be thrown at you as if you have done something wrong__your only crime is being an Ebonyian.
They will mock you and tag you 'Nwa Abakeleke' everybody is from Abakeleke. Their ignorance won't allow them to understand that not every Ebonyian is from Abakeleke same way not every Anambrarian is from Awka.


A whole lot of places especially in the metropolitan areas in Onitsha don't rent out their houses again to Ebonyians yet, they all claim to be Igbos.
They are very angry and annoyed and even questioned why an Ebonyi man (Ekpa) should be the one spearheading Biafra's agitation in the absence of Kanu.
The truth here is that they see an Ebonyi man as way below them. An Anambra man might give up Biafra just because an Ebonyi man is the champion.
If there should be anything like Biafra, there would be a terrible implosion. It would be a clash of egos, what is being witnessed in Nigeria might be a child's play because the 'timid' Ebonyians as referred to by Anambrarians are waking up and won't just allow anyone to bully them. I don't think an Enugu man will allow that too, neither will an Imo or Abia man.
There would be a clash of interests.

The people doing this are enemies of the Igbo nation because this street was renamed 7 years ago in 2018 during the regime of Willie Obiano and his government explained why they did it. Why is it been raised now except to cause fight amongst Igbos?

I'm not even talking about the street names or whatever. I'm talking about how the Anambrarians treat the Ebonyians. An Ebonyian living in Anambra has to endure a lot of mockery.
Just go to Facebook, the hate is everywhere.

ComeToJesus:
Sometimes I wonder if Nigerians will ever make progress.

Within Igbo land, there is micro-marginalisation. Anambra sees itself as the authentic Igbo and badmouthing other SE states like Ebonyi and Imo.

My Anambra friend speaks with condescending derision of Abakiliki and Imo people.

Talk about majoring in the minor..

Really? How would someone in Anambra know who is from Ebonyi? Dies anyone walk around with Ebonyi written on their forehead?

Tinubumustgo:
Its no longer news.

In southwest Lagos precisely.

They've been changing streets bearing Igbo names after their great grandparents.

You’re quick to divert attention towards SW, Lagos as usual! What’s Lagos gat to do with this news now? You sure say ethnic bigotry no go kill you so?

Nigerians always forming Unity but deep down they are very divided along many lines. Many Ethnic Jingoists amongst them all.

Ethnic Jingoists and Ethnic Jingoism is as worse as any malady affecting the Nation yet all of them do it.

A real shame though in some cases you need to draw a line but fanning the fire of Ethnic Jingoism is very bad.

The intonation bro.
Ask anyone about what I wrote up there, they will tell you it's the truth.
You can make a simple search on Google or even Facebook.

geoworldedu:
One reason why I like Yoruba is that so far your language resemble Yoruba like 2%, the Yoruba people will tell you that you are a Yoruba. No matter what you tell them, they will not accept. There are hundreds of Yoruba languages like Ikale, Egba, Ijebu, etc that do not really sound like the mainstream Yoruba language, but the Yorubas accept every single one of them as Yoruba. So it's strange when Igbos discriminate languages. I don't really understand why variations in dialects can really mean much. Can you enlighten me?

bro disregard him na o buro nwa afo
I wanted to reply him but had to go through his profile...
Most of the people you see creating/disunity between us ain't igbos...
We're one bro

I'm happy to hear this.

Ah ah, so because Abakaliki Street for Awka don change to Club Street, you don carry megaphone dey call for street name revenge? Bros, relax. Na street dem rename, no be your ancestral compound dem demolish.

It seems that inferiority complex is rampant among Ebonyians.

Abakaliki to club street. Anybody who hears club street will only think of Ashawo zone. So it is even from flying pan to fire if they feel that Abakaliki street denotes classless people according to them.

EvilMerodack:
What school did you graduate from?


The international Airport in Abuja is named after Nnamdi Azikiwe, is he from Abuja too?

WS and Tinubu are dignitaries and thats perfectly OK. There are even hostels, Event centers and Streets named after notable Non-Yoruba people in the SW and people dont ask for it to be renamed

This topic is about renaming just any street bearing Anambra name in Abakaliki. Again, just any random names

This isnt rocket science. Stop bringing Tinubu to it

The problem here is I didn't quote u. The people I quoted know why I said what I said cos it was in response to there biased comment.

So if u want to respond to my comment get the context of my initial response and who I was responding to so u don't seem totally off in ur response. Cheers

SeeWahala:
Fake news. These ones have RoNu affiliations and want it to seem like it's not only the southwest yorubas that are suffering from acute inferiority complex

Hahaha 🤣😂 misery does love company. Please my igbo brothers, no one should pay this unknown entity any mind. He's a nobody, a figment of their imagination

The petition is actually from one of your PoNu kinsmen.
One of you, a PoNu like you, even said that people would think that the street is occupied by classless people if they hear Abakeleke abi Abakaliki Street mock 🤔 😏 🙄 😒

This mumu Ebonyi business mogul shouldn't start a war he can't win. Because of small money he picked, he wants to challenge Anambra that has many influential business moguls bigger than his generation.

The number of Ebonyi residents in Anambra is more than the number of Anambra residents in Ebonyi. Hardly will you see an Anambra indigene residing in Ebonyi but come to Anambra you will see them (Ebonyi) in their numbers engaged in street hawking, nanny, gateman and other menial jobs including low budget olosho.
The Abakiliki street we are talking about is known for prostitution mostly carried out by Ebonyi, Imo and calabar girls.
Comparing Anambra to Ebonyi be like comparing Apple to Tecno or Benz to Toyota

You Igbos hate one another so much that you can't even bear to see streets named after other Igbo communities that are not your own

Ezewuzie01:
What are they still waiting for? They should do quick and rename them fast fast. I don't understand the obsession that these Ebonyi people have with Anambra. Anambra and Ebonyi don't even have anything in common be it natural boundaries, origin, language etc. And the truth is that Ebonyi are not really Igbos. You will confirm this when you listen to their strange language that sounds more like Hausa and nothing like Igbo.

Imagine so there are REAL Igbos and FAKE Igbos, I pity ANIOMA people wey wan join SE states

The person you are quoting isn't Igbo but someone well known to pretend to be Igbo so as to make comments will cause disunity

This issue of street renaming was from far back as 2018. But see how mischief makers have repackaged a 7 old event to try and disunite Igbos today

If such deep hatred exists between two states of so-called Biafra, imagine what will happen when they finally become a sovereign nation. I keep repeating that the noise around marginalization is nothing but a plot orchestrated by an elite who feel totally exempt from the system and whose only way to remain relevant is to stir up war to promote their selfish interests. It is clear that there is no united Igbo front, similar to what is happening in the north; they only pretended to be one north during elections and what follows is fight and hatred against each other, the Hausa against the Fulani, etc

Imagine this intra-tribalism. Soon all their tentacles will be totally abolished

If not madness why will they be allowed to take a political position out of east....people that can't love their self wanted to be loved by another

There is no hatred here except the one mischief makers want to create. This street naming was from 7 years ago

Hear wetin one of the Anambra based brethren of " ShukwuDi Street " Ajeromi Street owners is saying about their own government renaming a street : " when people hear Abakaliki Street , they would probably see the street AS OCCUPIED BY CLASSLESS INDIVIDUALS." ! A name of a whole state capital considered classless by Anambra residents.! I guess Ebubedike Street glamourise any Lagos street .

Slimani:
What do we call this? Is it tribalism or sub-tribalism?

Na micro-tribalism.

So the Ebonyi business man does not know what he is saying?
Even at that, why was the street renamed? It is very bad of the Anambra government to see a street called Abakaliki and choose to call it club road, very very bad

Ebonyi businessman who is fighting about what happened 7 years ago today? Something that the reason has long been explained and everyone moved on?

The guy is just out to cause fight between brothers. There are many like him on social media using ridiculous reasons to cause disunity in the Igbo nation
