Chukzyblingz displaying stupidity as usual. Hahahaaahhhh. Benin serving stooge. Lmao!!!

I have been following Genieluv's posts and she made it known that she is from Anioma but didn't grow up in Anioma land. Why are these Igbo people like this?

ikechu1:
More example of what that woman is.

Yes keep bringing it on. I am not ashamed of the fact that i was brought up by Benue parents and i jealously guard that identity! If you doubt this, open a thread about Benue state and see my rush there! Open a thread about Anioma, if i see it i will likewise comment. That is me for you, stark tribalism cannot let this get into your head. Mr tribalist.
My Step father and mother have been living in Jos for many years now and i spent my life up there.

Since you are good at digging up peoples identity why dont u show me where i claimed to be Yoruba, Fulani or Ijaw? Madness indeed!

Eastfield1:

Shut up U this Criminal
u claimed that only ur mother is from Ubulu uku now
U have change d story that its ur father and all ur family that is from anioma n was born in Anioma.
U are nothing but a Criminal

Did you mind the thing

Earlier she claimed it was her mother that's anioma, now her father.

She cannot seem to keep up with her lies.

Here's another claim from her regarding her father

Can someone tell me how genieluv, half benue/half igbo father or so she lied, turn to Anioma all of a sudden

And also how did her anioma mother become benue and her benue father become anioma in matters of seconds

genieluv:


See how ipob members like you display stupidity. Are you better than the northernerns? They are ten times better than you ok? This madness you guys exhibit is the reason why the south-south ibo speaking tribea are running away from you. Ipob miscreants!

Lol. @boki. I just dey look you.

genieluv:


Oh that's nice. So do you Igbankes also accept the name Anioma? I have seen Igbanke people who claimed to be Bini people, would you accept the Bini identity as an Igbanke lady?

I'd rather be an igbanke benin

Now they are her step father and mother.

You are an efiot.

You are a perfect example of why they say not to lie. You have to add in more lies to save the earlier in turns exposing yourself some more.

I really don't care when you lots pretend to be ika but when you pretend to be what I am and ridiculously proud of to use as a shield, I'll continue exposing your ass.

While I'm at it, look at a tribalists calling others a tribalist. Your ENTIRE past history is nothing but bigotry comments towards igbo. Do you want me to expose your hating ass some more

ikechu1:


Get out of my comment and never quote me again. I already did what I wanted to do....exposed your fake @ss for what you truly are.

Every other save face tactics by you is not of my interest. You can create as many fictional bloodline to Anioma to save your miserable attach by force @ss.....it is not my concern.

As far as I'm concerned, you are a disgusting pig

Tribalism has made you worse than what any human mind can imagine. I can see that these easternerns have infected you with their virus of hatred!
I went through the beginning of this thread and discovered that you also tried to deny Chuckzyblingz of his own identity claiming that he is not Ika.
My mother and her sibblings grew up in Anioma land and none of them ever displayed madness like you, i admire them so much for their ways and this was why as soon as i became a teenager, i made efforts to re-unite with my biological father.
I will not be surprised if i was told that you are an IPOB member or you are an Igbo man masquerading as Anioma. because only peeps from these places display seasonal madness like you are doing!
People like you if left untamed will breed hatred and utmost suspicion among Anioma people. You are a wild animal that needs to be tamed.
Go and read my posts from the beginning of this thread and see that i showed no hatred whatsoever to Igbos. I was even trying to convince the two Ika peeps on this thread to see a reason why we are related to Igbos even though we don't we may not accept igbo identity as such.
Gosh, tribalism has created so many untamed wild animals here in Nigeria. I really think the mods of this forum really need to do something quick!

Bro ikas are not igbo there's no way cos dey don't even rhyme

Uniben4sure:
You are very wrong! It was the old Bini empire, in their conquest that colonized ikaland. Read about Bini kingdom and their expansionist drive in those days and you will understand.

How can the Bini empire, with their might in those days, lose their land up to igbanke to the Igbo's? Or how could they have lost their language and culture to the Igbo's, if they were the original inhabitants of ikaland?

bigfrancis21:


Me too. I am not Igbo but Enugwu-ukwu.

Na so, Sir.

suwalee:
its like nigeria we had our language before d british came to colonize us..... that's d only way I can relate the ika tribe.they are benin until d igbos came with their influence nd all

There is something many of you fail to understand and is the fact that Ika had always been 99% Igbo related even before the coming of both the Bini empire and the British. Every historical, archeological and antropological documents one can ever come across have always pointed Igbo people as the first inhabitants of what we now know as Aniomaland. The expansionist agenda of the Bini empire as well as the coming of both the Igala and Olukumi groups altered to a lesser degree the Igbo norms, native names as well other socio-political symbols, eg Kingship to make it more Bini in outlook. But even at that the Igbo identity still withstood the onslaught.
The strong Igbo cultural influence in the Igbanke country and other Ika communities like Ekpon found a stone throw from Benin also sharing the same Edo state is a strong pointer to this fact, as well as a useful evidence to the overwhelming Igbo heritage of the Anioma people. Many pre-colonial archives ever written had supported this fact. For example, the first published and extensively read european book about the Igbo people (written by a free slave of Ika ancestry) identified areas east of Benin as Ebo in both language and culture. If you read carefully in that book you would clearly see that the writer understood the difference between his kinsmen and people from the empire westward. Equiano's descriptions painted a picture of his people as proud Eboes who lived under a great and mighty Bini empire. (See the book, the interesting narrative of Olaudah Equiano).
Another pre-colonial article that cemented the Igbo identity of Anioma people was the writings of the Lander brothers. Both John and Richard Lander in their expedition to find the source pf the niger river wandered down south and were held under the captivity of the great Aboh king(Ukwuani). In one occasion with the great Obi Ossai, the Lander brothers documented that the Aboh people themselves identified as Ibo. The king mentioned many things that are identical to the cultural practice to the people of the south-east such as names of God (Tshuku), name of his heir (Tshukuma), the four market days and other Ibo customs and norms. More intriguing also, was the revelation of the Obi that good majority of their kinsmen dwell eastward across the niger river. It is worthy of note that at the time these discoveries were made, no european had for any cause had contact with the other eastern Ibo groups, so it was from the testimonies of people of present Anioma that the British came to know the existence of the Igbo people. However, when the British finally landed in Nigeria in pursuit of their colonial administration, they could tell the difference between the Edoids (Bini, Ishan, Afemai, Urhobo, Isoko) from their mid-west Igbo counterparts. The British were the first to give the Anioma people the name Ika-Igbo as a way of identifying the these midwest people. Don't forget these British fought a prolonged Ekumueku war of resistence with the Aniomas and had a better understanding of these people. They could tell the war language of this folks which is similar to those spoken in the south-east and the anti-colonial disposition they had just like their eastern kinsmeen towards white imperialism. So it wasn't a surprise when the British decided to formally unify the Aniomas with their kinsmen from the east under one umbrella, just as they've done to other major groups. First, the central Igbo language was given much prominence over other native dialects (as also done in the south-east) to be used in church sermons, schools, native courts, markets and other official gatherings. Second, and as done in the east, the british promoted one Igbo identity and submerged clan affiliation which used to be the ethnic identity in the past.
The movement continued this way and should had wiped off till eternity evey iota of Bini empire - induced Igbo identity crisis we see today, save for the diabolic civil war that came crashing on the Igbo nationhood. However, I still believe that in due time a great unified Igbo nation (as strong as a rushing wave shall put to an end all Igbo denials in parts of the south-south) shall rise again and the truth which has been hidden for a long time now, shall surely prevail.

Now it's back to her mother.

So far it's went from her mother that's anioma to her father that's anioma back to her mother that's anioma.

Ironically enough, THIS is THE ONLY THREAD she ever claimed to be anioma and ironically she only said so, AFTER exposed for being the Benue chick she's is.

And chukzyblingz was exposed as non ika because he does not even know ANYTHING about ika. Igboid who isn't even ika defeated him on ika history using ika historian. On top of thay, the dude has no clue the difference between ugbodu and ika. Plus had to be told who the heck wrote the comment igboid quoted despite the name written. A freaking past dein of agbor and a so called agbor man didn't know that. Both you are him are as fake as your stories.

Him I careless..he's attacking to ika. You I care more...
you attaching to my side. You should have been like him an attaches to ika because trust me on this, I'll going to be a torn in that your useless head simply for bringing insults to Enuani. Ewu!!

It is these Biafran agitators and IPOB mad men. The truth just hurts them so much.
All my life with my grand mother who is a native of Ubulu uku, she never told me that she was an Igbo woman or that her people were igbos and that is what i have accepted till now.

What is ANIOMA? A coined word to unite Igbos from the Delta is being used by some unexposed few as an identity. SMH

This is a quote from http://umuanioma.com/index.php/anioma

Anioma in Perspective
INTRODUCTION

The “Anioma” may also be indigenously referred to as “Ndi-Enuani” (Enuani) or “Ndi-Eluani” (Eluani) in Ika language which means the “Highland people” in reference to the geographical location of the region but a more common name for the people is “ANIOMA”.

ORIGIN

Birth of the Anioma nation

The people of Aniocha, Ndokwa (Ukwuani) Ika and Oshimili are collectively referred to as “Anioma”. The word “Anioma” is actually an acronym (i.e. A-Aniocha; N-Ndokwa; I-Ika and O-Oshimili) while the “Oma” Suffix in the contraction denotes “beauty” or “fertility”. The name has derivatively come to mean “Good Land” “Beautiful Land” or Fertile Land”. The coinage of the name was made by Chief Dennis Osadebay.

In 1951, Hon Oki from Ndokwa; Hon Frank Oputa Ututu from Ndokwa; Hon Obi from Ika; Hon F. Utomi (Aniocha) and Chief Dennis Osadebay from Oshimili all of who represented the four areas that make up the now Anioma nation jointly moved a motion seeking a separate province for the Anioma people and region. The motion became necessary to address the balkanization and merger of the people by the British colonial government with Benin and Warri provinces without any referendum. The Anioma Representatives had hoped to reunite the communities. The loss of Ekumeku (Ekumekwu) wars fought by the people against the British to put an end to the British imperialistic tendencies on the people necessitated the forced, regrettable, and unholy fusions.

The colonial government’s trepidation was that if the potency of Anioma’s unity was not weakened or broken, the people would continue to constitute threats to the activities of the government hence the balkanization. The said motion was forlornly lost in the house to the political antics Chief Obafemi Awolowo and his Action Group party opposition that blocked it for fear of dominance over the Yoruba collective interest in the then western region.

The origins of the various Anioma towns and communities are diverse but in all; all the communities can trace their origins to Igbo, Bini, Ishan and Igalla. Evidences of the ancestral homes are palpably noticeable in the names borne by Anioma communities such as “Igbo-Uzo” (Igbuzo) from Nshi (Nri) and Isu of Igboland; “Ogwa Nshi (Ogwashi-Uku) of Nri, Igboland and Benin (Ezechime), and “Ahaba-Ujom” (Asaba) from Nteje (Igboland) and Igalla (Kogi State) and “Agbon” (Agbor) Bini.

Others like Isi-Ile-Uku, a Benin word for present (Issele-Uku) founded by Oba Eweka I of Benin, Onicha-Uku, Onicha-Ugbo, Onicha-Olona and Onicha-Ado (Descendants of Ezechime, a Bini migrant) Ebu (Igalla and Ishan (Edo State), founded by Omokhale, Benin migrant. Okpanam, Igbodo, Obomkpa, Issele-Mkpitime (Issele-Uku migrants) and Igbodo owe their ancestral foundations to Benin.

BALKANIZATION

Loss of Important communities

The history of the location of the region shows that during the colonial period of the nation, it was located in the Western region later Mid West, Bendel State and from 1991 till date Delta State. After the loss of the Ekumekwu war, the British colonial government visited the region with castigatory measures which Balkanized it into two separate parallel lines, amalgamating them to the Benin and warri provinces. The British would also merge many of the people’s important communities such as Onicha-Ado (Onitsha), Ogbaru, Obosi, Atani, Ndoni, Ozubulu, Ogba, Oraifite to then Eastern region, a development that has since remained unchanged till date while the provinces merged with Benin and Warri have reunited in present Delta State, Igbanke and some smaller Ika communities are still lying in Edo State.

GEOGRAPHY

Location

The Anioma region occupies 9 out of the total 25 Local Government Areas that make up the state and comprises of about 174 known towns and communities located in today’s Northern part of Delta State, hence its reference as “Delta North” in the administrative matters of the state. Some of its important towns are Asaba (State headquarters), Ogwashi-Uku, Ibusa, Agbor, Obiaruku, Ashaka, Kwale, Issele-Uku, Umunede, Aboh, Ndokwa, Ilah and Ubulu-Uku.

Anioma towns are also scattered around 4 other states such as Igbanke and a few others in Edo State; Onicha-Ado (Onitsha), Ozubulu, Obosi, Ogbaru, Atani, Oraifite in Anambra State; Oguta in Imo State; Ndoni, Ekpon, Ogba in Rivers State. The region is located at the West Basin of the River Niger. It is also an expanse that naturally enjoys geographical contiguity with the Igbo, Isoko, Benin, Igalla and Urhobo; Bounded to the East by Anambra State, southeast by Imo and Rivers States, to the South by Bayelsa State, to the North by Kogi State, to the Northwest by Kogi State. It enjoys access to the great River Niger and other smaller rivers, streams and lakes. A look at the Nigerian map confirms that many of its communities especially the Kwale towns are situated in the Delta region thus the region’s positioning at the South-south geo-political zone.

LANGUAGE

Dialects

About 13 Languages are spoken in Anioma some of which are Enuani, Bini, Olukun (Old and extinct Yoruba language), Igalla, Ishan, Ika, Ukwuani and Aboh. Enuani which obviously is the dominant language is spoken by Asaba, Ibusa, Ogwashi-Uku, Ubulu-Uku, Ubulu-Unor, Issele-Uku, Issele-Mkpitime, Onicha-Olona, Onicha-Ugbo, Onicha-Uku, Ejeme-Unor, Ejeme-Aniogor, Ilah, Ezi, Obomkpa, Oko-Anala, Oko-Amakom, Oko-Ogbele, parts of Igbodo, Akwuwu-Igbo, Akwukwu-Ukwu, Okpanam, Idumuje-Unor, Idumuje-Ugboko, Anwai, Oraifite, Ogbaru, Onitsha, Obosi, Atani. Ika is spoken by Agbor, parts of Igbodo, Umunede, Igbanke, Oguta, Owa-Oyibus, Owa-Nta, Owa, Ekwuoma, Obior etc. Ebu speak Enuani, Ishan and Igalla. Aboh and surrounding communities speak Aboh. Ukwuani is spoken by Ukwuani/Ndokwa, Umutu, Ogume, Obiaruku, Asaba-Ubulu, Ashama, Edo-Ogwashi, Azagba, Amai etc.

Ebu is a bi-lingual town. Some people speak Ishan, others speak Igalla. Enuani is comprehensible to all. The people of Igbodo speak Ika and Enuani. This is due to the influence of its location between Ekwuoma and Onicha-Ugbo. It must be noted that while some parts of Anioma understand and speak languages close to Urhobo and Isoko, a sort of Igbo language is intelligible to all the towns and communities that make up the Anioma region. This is the beauty of what a writer has defined as “cross culture” or “cross-cultural pollination” that the people have enjoyed as result of peaceful relationship with close by ethnic groups which has in no small way enriched the people’s traditional background and even harmonized it.

What it means is that from Agbor to Aboh, the people of Anioma can relate effectively in a harmonious language quite close to Ibo.

If she's going to the extent of impersonating Anioma just to cause disunity, it is not good but you don't have any proof of that because she explained herself from the beginning. LIfe is not just black and white. Either this or that. No. someone can be Benue and at the same time Anioma and someone can grow up in Benue, Anioma and Jos as well but at different stages of their life.

In the whole of Nairaland history, i have only claimed Benue and Enuani and only these two places i will continue to claim till i die until i probably get married to someone else from another group.

Show me where i claimed anything else apart from Benue and Enuani
Why are some people so foolish? Do you think the average Benue person knows what is called Enuani, Ukwuani, Ika, Ndokwa, Ndosimili are? Do u think an average Benue person cares about all these?

The slave you are talking about never identified himself as Igbo but Eboh, which is a corruption of Aboh. I have made a research on this and it's obvious there is a big difference between the people called Igbo and the Eboh the person you are talking about referred to.

Pls show me where i evee said that i grew up in Anioma land? If you cannot show me then you would be the greatest lunaticc ever known to mankind.

I always said that am half enuani and half benue and i spent a large part of my life in Jos and till now my parents are there. It is my mother and her sibblings that grew up in Ubulu uku.
You folks must be very sick to think that the average Idoma or Benue person cares about all these your tribal madness of who is igbo and who is not. The average Benue person gives no Bleep about that!

suwalee:
I am 100% ika frm igbanke orihonmwon lga to be precise...should continue?

if I had not met people from igbanke who accept being Igbo, I would av believed you are speaking for all igbanke people, but since I have, I can only say that you are speaking for yourself. Meanwhile, I don't really care...afterall, who u epp

One more reason why being Igbo is sweet like honey. When we out people like this,we are merciless. See how we're smacking this one up and down like table tennis. Once more I dobale (prostrate) for my Igbo brothers and sisters,you guys are always killing it.
