So you’re one of the Anambra puritans who think you gave pre-existing groups of people civilization? Hehe. This is who I’m supposed to happily share unity with?

We will desecrate your culture if we like. Sit there and froth at the mouth.

MelesZenawi:
And you will happily share unity with us. Erase your fears and bitterness you've been exhibiting here against the said puritans.

We only need the right thing to be done. This is igbo culture and it must supritend over all others.

MelesZenawi:
For those using Eze as prefix not old and long standing tradition we know.

Eze is more prominent in Imo/Abia/Rivers/ebonyi/Enugu....



More like these states doesn't really have culture at all...

1956: Queen Elizabeth II And Prince Philip Meet His Majesty Obi Okosi Of Onitsha


The Queen of England and the Prince Consort meets the Obi of Onitsha, His Majesty Obi Okosi, in Onitsha during the British royals' tour of Nigeria in 1956. With them is the great Zik of Africa, Nnamdi Azikiwe.

No other part of igbo land had such privilege because they had neither king, nor organized traditional government.

ChinenyeN:
I’m bored of you Anambra puritans. Go and make your own pure Igbo culture elsewhere and leave the rest of us to enjoy our autonomy and inter-group affiliations. Thanks.

MelesZenawi:
As far as Igbo is concerned. We must keep watch. Ngwa is an Igbo sub-group. Abaribe represents ndigbo well and had title of nwadiohanma ngwa. So we must keep watch over all.

Igbo culture should not be descrated by mere illogical few.

UdechiHD:
Those states maintained the post colonial Igbo culture while yours copied alien monarchy that has no relationship with Igbo worldview.
Chinua Achebe is an authority in Igbo customs and through his books the whole world know Igbo culture. In our government text books and in the archives or Nigeria the Igbo's are known as non-centralized ethnicity.
Why not go tell the white man you have Kings?

ChinenyeN:
*asnụ udhe* yawn. Like I said, go do your puritan business elsewhere. The rest of us are too busy enjoying our autonomy and inter-group affiliations.

UdechiHD is right.
Ndiigbo never had kingdoms.
The key feature of kingdoms is that lands belong to the king and their people were the subjects of the king, we were a land of free people and were no subjects to any one.
Ndiigbo never had such. What we had were Okpala ukwus, who held Ofo and servered as representative of the people with their permission.
Land in Igboland always belonged to families(Umunna) and the Okpalaukwu only represented the clan and did not dictate to them.

The Obis of Nnewi were merely decorated Okpalaukwus with the Igwe of Nnewi being their leader.

Igbo enwe eze and Igbo ama eze represent who our people are.

okpalaAnambra:
Nonsense..there is nothing like Igbo..wake up,

People can practice what they want to but my duty as onye Anambra is to protect and advance my culture, simply. This brings me to ask this question again, what is the essence of Igbo Izugbe ?

Lies

Igbo Izugbe was the coinage of several dialects to become could be general igbo language.

Onitsha had and still has a distinct sweet dialect that flows with ease. No wonder the colonists used it in their literature translation in igbo language.

Onitsha doesn't speak igbo izugbe. Onitsha has it's own sweet dialect.

Stop posting rubbish. Show us the report where your inferior isoma was used in Onitsha. I am showing you historical evidence. Give us evidence or shut up

UdechiHD:
Igbo Izugbe once called Isoma-Igbo has evolved overtime and would continue evolving.

It is not perfect, has faults but has come to stay. Igbo Izugbe was a British experiment to ease communication barrier that impeded colonialism in the east. Bonny and Onitsha were the testing ground of Isoma-Igbo and was used to spread Christianity and colonial rule in Igboland.

When next you want to question Igbo-Izugbe, maybe you'll need to visit Bishop Crowther and the likes of Oraka in their graves to question their motive.

And the answer they'll give you is this:

"If the Yoruba's accepted Oyo Yoruba without questioning me and the Nupe's accepted Bida Nupe without questioning me, because it helped to unite this fragmented groups into one strong ethnicity, why then should you the enemies of your Igbo tribe question my motives. Why don't you improve on what bounds you together, unite into one common goal and reach for the skies".

This is for the Omanbala, Ngwa, Ika, Ndokwa and Ikwerre separatist asking the motives of Igbo Izugbe and the above is what late Bishop Crowther will tell you.

Abia1stboy:
Queen of England equally visited Oba of Benin, Sultan, Ooni as well as Obi of Onitsha when she first visited Nigeria in 1956. Obi of Onitsha represents the small lands on banks of the niger East, Ooni of Ife for the West, Sulta for the north and Oba of Benin for the midwest

IDENNAA:
Igbo Izugbe is nothing but a weakly manufactured Igbo to hoist an identity that never existed. Igbo Izugbe must be trashed !
