Bcus i'll neva be an igbo man not now or in the next after life..

Good for you,a lot of people deny themselves,you're not the first and might not be the last.

ezenwajosh:


HAHAHAHA...... SEE MUMU...... WHAT IS ANIOMA IN ENGLISH ISN'T IT GOOD LAND

You can't even comprehend a few lines of thoughts.


My friend your customers are waiting for u to attend to them. You are not needed here.

make sure Abokki has time for you to explain this to him when they start killing in the North. And make sure that ukwuani you speak will save from the Igbos when the Igbos are separating the chaff from the grain.

Drchristian:

yes d yoruba nation has done more than u can reciprocate 4 igbos and Nigeria but still some of u r ungrateful, parasitic and refuse to acknowledge dat...come here and see for yourself. maybe u even live in d west like ur people sef.

Of all the names and monikers i have come to detest on this forum, yours takes center stage, you're so immersed in your loathing you continue to miss out on the bigger picture, which is the fact that whether you want it or not our country Nigeria is a ticking time bomb, and unless we decide to reach a common ground it will explode. Try to see beyond the vagaries of tribe and old sentiments when you make your points. You are not the only yoruba person championing for respect, desist from insulting tribes... As for every igbo person here, continuing to hammer the fact that delta igbo is igbo is pointless, do the deltans not know who they are, are the anioma people unaware of their ancestry, will you be the one to teach them their heritage... A true igbo man is not told he is igbo, it just feels right, when the igbos get their referendum, joining will not be about where your map or boundary lie, it will be about what you accept and believe. Do you think there are no middle belts who are igbo by marriage, or yorubas who are igbo by marriage, or hausas/fulani who are igbos by marriage and vice versa, think again... As for the delta igbos clamouring for separate individualism, it is your decision and no one else's. As for the yorubas, all i have for you is respect, i would be lying if i say i otherwise, i greatly admire their unity, their tolerance, their culture and tradition and especially their women, i have always secretly wondered and hoped both tribes will unite by some miracle (yoruba and igbo) i really hope i live to see that day. It is a shame our parents have sowed so much hate in our hearts that we rather die than show the other simple courtesies.... I shall continue to advocate for the great igbo nation and respect the great oduduwa race. God bless us all.

you know nothing about my self esteem..do you think someone like me would ever I mean ever have self esteem issues??matter of fact if you know me,you would think I'm too proud..dude bye,i have wasted so much of my precious time already,time i would have invested into something productive.

lol, fine fish, but nobody ever called you here. And nobody ever disturbed you not to use ur time well. Check the time I replied you now, you will see it is 11:10pm bed time. Av used my time well. No xcuse.

basilo101:
Ikweres are disgusting people. I love this Aniomas

why the insults.?
you guys are d one making dem to be proud of who dey said dey are.
better edit or delete dat comment

During my service years, I met a corp member, we were on a boat going to a community in Sagbama LGA. As she conversed on the phone, I could understand what she was saying though I knew her dialect was very different from mine. Elated I thought I have met kinswoman but she denied being Igbo claiming Kwale. I was like but I understood you. She maintained she's not Igbo in a way that made it seem we're quarrelling... I was instantly pissed off. I really dislike those segregation and denials. I concur with writer. We are all Igbos.

Another that makes me annoyed is the way Igbos from other states segregates Igbos from Ebonyi. For the love of God, we are all Igbos. Together we will be stronger. They divide us so they can rule us perpetually.

Let's rise above such mentality.

Igbo kwezuo nu!!!

flokii:


Was expecting this

How come you guys never blame fulanis.. Thnk God you didn't use afonjas this tym

Don't you like to be called Afonja ?But you call Igbos Okoro,Ojukwu,LCD Flatron
So you are Afonja the warrior....

ode,seriously I don't know why a lot of you here try to make sense but end up sounding lame..like is it that hard to sound intelligent??f**k off my mentions idiot

coolitempa:
Let us be honest...most of anioma is not ibo but Benin.....ibos have long migrated to these areas and taken over the demographics....but they are descendants of the Benins...

Its Igbo not Ibo.

And you're wrong too in your analysis

Balkan:

can u all just leave this pple alone.
U all are making them look more important than they are.
thats y dey insult us when ever dey feel like

beautiful232:
hahahahahah


same thing here.... many people Are saying calabar and Akwa ibom are not dsame


for me we are the same..no difference

Nice pointing that out. I'm Igbo. I do wonder why people make it seem they are not the same. Cos to me, their languages and names sound alike. Their food and culture too.

Ikechukwu48:


You are truly dumb. Asagba has more respect than whatever crap village you come from. No amount of stating otherwise changes reality. The only and well respected monarchs of anioma land are both Asagba and Obi of ogwashi uku. The rest are irrelevant. The only other closest might even be the Dein of Agbor and he gets b1tch slapped and dragged and told what to do by the monarch of Benin kingdom...a complete joke that a king bows to another king...laughable. Don't make me laugh here with the rubbish you tried to sell

this is a very ignorant one. Nobody knows the two kings you mentioned there in terms of Anioma Royalty. They are both great men but in terms of royalty, nobody knows them. please stop saying what you don't know. Dein bows for no king. please stop spewing thrash.

HenryThegreat1:
. u may understand other Delta Igbo languages but for Agbor u lie.

So are you now telling me that my friend (whom I am so sure is from Agbor and speaks Agbor very well) does not speak Agbor to me, even after I have confirmed it severally? So are u now saying that I am a liar, even after I have actually gone to her village and heard her people speak the same Agbor dialect and I still understand it? Now let me tell u what my friend does: In order to to test my understanding of the dialect, she will just say anything in Agbor and ask me to tell her the meaning, of which I will do to her satisfaction just to prove to her that I actually understand it. So my dear, dont u ever argue with somebody about something he/she has personal experience of more than u, because doing so will definitely mislead you.

... Igbo is igbo. Whether in the south east, South South, Benue, kogi, Guinea Bissau or Haiti. God bless Ndigbo and also bless those martyrs (women and children) that laid down their lives between 1967-1970. We will never forget you.

vikyno:
Honestly I don't see myself as an Igbo man. I am from Anioma and I wonder why it has always been like this. Most people I know from my side will deny the Igbo only to be betrayed by language ties.

It may as well be cultural mix with other tribes over the period of time that is the cause or perceived greed and love of money by the mainstream Igbo.

Please may I ask, why do these Anioma people deny being Igbo?

OdenigboAroli:


Nne,there is no need for apologies.
I just want to sensitize you about that eidiot you are dealing with and let you know how to deal with people like that. Great him like a dog sshhit...Stop being classy like most Igbo women because Yoruba people don't understand that language. Their women behave like street urchins that what they are used to. Daalu,rinne.

it is very easy to detect a lowlife human like you. Your dirty women that give that irritating thing called periwinkle have used their smelly kitty cat destroy your entire life. And you are looking for a way to drag that girl down with you. If your life has already shattered with no remedy again, must you take that innocent girl ngozi along. The saddest thing is that, the girl will only read your post and said to herself 'oh, I can't allow this one with a shattered life to drag me into mud' and you for your mind will say 'I have talked'. I call ppl like you OPONU AYIRADA.

Shym3xx:


Lol. It just shows that logic/common-sense is foreign to you.

You cited Yorubas in Brazil and Cuba who got there as slaves and have since assimilated into their new identity.

Why can't Igbos who got to Delta as slaves do the same? Why're they trying to usurp the indigenous people there, who have Bini ancestry, by trying to turn them into Igbo?

How come slaves outnumbered indigines to the extent of exterminating indigenes languages, names and culture? Did Africans who went to America outnumbered Americans? Changed English language to any African language? I have been following your argument and I can't take your stupidity anymore!

nextstep:
There is Anioma, and there is Igbo.
There is America, and there is England
There is Mexico, and there is Spain
There is Brazil, and there is Portugal.

Each pair are distinct, separate peoples, though they speak the same language.

i have told dem d same thing.to stop their quest for brotherhood.
but this our pple don't listen.
they are just making Anioma ppl to think they are more important than they are

elsomm:


Nice pointing that out. I'm Igbo. I do wonder why people make it seem they are not the same. Cos to me, their languages and names sound alike. Their food and culture too.

that's the truth, like now I can understand and speak calabar very well,same with Akwa ibom

No big deal

we are all one

quit rambling, nobody is noticing you.

And there you have it, the us vs them finally comes out. And you want us to believe that we are one?

Your bigotry knows no boundary, so what want us to prostrate and beg him to be igbo? Igbo identity is by choice

oluole:


you see, your comments is one of the reason for their action. na by force?

and for your information I know these people more than you think because I live and dine with dem.

You may a faint idea about them, but certainly not an authority in matters that concern their ethnicity. Some of you should learn to stop poke nosing into matters that dosent concern you. As far as the Igbo nation is concerned the identity crisis being faced by many of our people in the SS is an issue solvable within and needs no help from outsiders. We know ourselves better than you think and will solve these problems in due time.
Now, let me tell you a little secret. Am not even from the SE, but from the SS. Yet when it comes to Igbo interest, I am always ready to defend it. Igbo etbnicity is not a thing of force, but Igbo unity and nationhood is non-negotiable as far as our stay in Nigeria is concerned. Divide and rule tactics won't work with us this time.

honestly, I never insulted you. But your reply showing how u were brought up. Av bin hearing the word BIMBO, but I just met one here. Have no reason to insult or hate on you after av seen a very beautiful damsel lying lifeless in mortuary. It made me believe life is so simple and nothing in it. But if you wish to continue in this manner, well, it is your destiny, you choose it that way. I pray God helps you. Cos if you ar intelligent enough, you will see av not insulted you in my first post. You are just like egg. Shalom.

CeoMYN:

wanne woru obu ali. The igbos are good but just their greediness.
They don't even see us as brothers, we call the igbos Nde Isoma here.

You're wrong. It is your Ogba people that don't see the Igbo as brothers. You people are very quick to claim Benin. Take back that accusation.

forget101O:
The problem is from the Ibos. They believe so much in autonomy. Every Ibo man or community wants to be on is own. You will here things like 'Autonomous Community of XYZ' etc. They forget the fact that pride comes before a fall. No one community want to be under the ruler-ship of another. And if this is not resolved, you will keep hearing names like; Anambra-ibo, Delta-ibo, Abakaliki-ibo, etc.

It is Igbo not Ibo

lereinter:
this is what political tribalism and sentiments has caused, and all this started from the gej era, everybody began to fractionlise themselves cos of appointment.

even when kachukwu was given minister of state for petroleum he was rejected by ibos calling him delta ibo..

Ngozi123:


What is edoid? Do you mean Bini?

In any case, I'm not telling anyone here my surname nor will I share the name of my village. Why do you want to know?

you're not from Delta hence not an Anioma person but you've been mentioning your Bini influenced town and your Bini sounding name that I'm curious to know about it.

Ngozi123:


[b] The person I quoted said that most Igbos in the aforementioned areas are descendants of Bini people. This is not true. There is a difference between having a small amount of Bini blood- intermixing isn't rare in a lot of places in Igboland- and being of direct Bini heritage, like that person suggested. My last name sounds a little Bini and I know that some of my ancestors migrated from Benin to where they are now. However, this was as a result of reverse migration; I'm not exactly sure why they went back to their original homeland in the East- I'll have to do some more research on that- but their 'Igboness' is undeniable.

As for your point about the locals using some Bini words to name their villages, well, that is to be expected considering that they must have spent several years living under the Benin Kingdom, in which the lingua franca was Bini. Its probably similar to how a lot of Igbos today mix some English words into Igbo- a poor comparison but I hope that you understand what I'm saying. We may have some similarities with the Bini people, that's what happens when you live under an empire, but we are not Bini.

Classic. This is the defining post I've been looking for. Agbor people better listen to this smart lady.

Nwani Nwanyi ur Ndigbo mehn i saw the moniker chinedu.

Okwa.. yu be from outside the Niger mehn cross ur lane bak leave us for ere..

I still repeat my question: Who the hell told u that I am from outside the Niger? Secondly, what Niger are u talking about? If it is the Niger Delta that u refer to as the Niger, do you agree with me that Imo and Abia States are parts of the Niger Delta? Mr. Man, I still maintain that you are still shooting yourself in the leg and speaking from both sides of your mouth. Please go to school and learn. It seems u dont know ur origin.

Nice write up. Igbo is Igbo. From Igbanke to Ihiala, Ahoada to Arochukwu, Oguta to Oba, Ezza to Etche. there is nothing like ''Delta Igbo'' or ''Main Igbo'.


Meanwhile....

what concerned youruba with this.

they blame Yoruba for losing biafra war,but those who participated most in the war were northerners,the war was even lead by a northerners,even their darling ijaw fought against them

they blame yoruba for this Nigeria not practicing true federalism.but it was an igbo(ajuyi ironsi)that abolished federalism nd made the central powerful.yoruba av asked for true federalism than any region in Nigeria

fulani herdsmen kill them they blame yoruba,Av never heard yoruba kill igbo or igbo kill Yoruba.but when fulani herdsmen attack igbo land they blame yoruba

they blame Yoruba for forcing them into one Nigeria,but it's azikwe that align with tafawa balewa to form one Nigeria,even when yoruba nd the north were not interested.in fact he with no seceding clause.still igbo still blame awolowo

they say yoruba is stopping them from leaving Nigeria.pls is burutai nd buhari both yoruba.fashola deported u to s.east,ur igwe got flogged in ondo still u beg

you blame yoruba for not letting your region develop.you wish us bad every time.u tell lies bout how all Nigeria money are used in developing Lagos cause it was once a capital.


PLS IS CALABAR NOT ONCE A CAPITAL,why is calabar not like Lagos

igbo's hold ur leaders responsible nd Stop the blame game

IN FACT WHEN WILL U GUYS START BLAMING HAUSA/FULANI,ARE U AFRAID OF THEM?
