Igbos are the only people that declare their tribe even before you enquire about it, anywhere they find themselves.

I've traveled to many countries of the world, and I can tell you that there are many people in many countries who don't know anything about Nigeria, but they know many things about Igbos.

I remember discussing with a lady in a German restaurant. When she asked me where I came from, I told her I'm from Nigeria and she said 'ok'.

We continued our discussion on a normal level until when my phone rang, I picked the call, it was from Mom, and I had to talk in my language.

When I finished talking with mom on phone, the lady asked me 'what language is that, I thought you said you're from Nigeria?'

'That's Igbo language. I'm from Igbo' I told her. Immediately she jumped up with great excitement and gave me a hug that lasted for over five seconds.

It was then she started telling me stories she had heard over the years about the Igbos. She never really bothered to know from which country the Igbos come from. All she had ever known is that the Igbos are great people.

anybody can claim anything on a faceless forum

They fought on the federal side. We were Never fully in support of biafra, 90% of my people didn't want to be part of Biafra and it's worse now

You forgot to mention the brilliant Etuk who fought in the Owerri battle for the FG. Ike Nwachukwu fought for the FG as well. Yoruba officers also fought for Biafra. These facts are not new.

The point is simple, at no point were minorities forced to be part of Biafra against their will. Them as well as igbos were massacred in the north and ran back to the East. Were there some ppl against it? Of course, even some Igbos were not in support but to claim they were forced into it is not true

.


You see the wicked and heartless Igbo's never attack the villages of the Igbo's fighting for the Federal Government. Did anything happened in Ike Nwachukwu village? What happened in Azikiwe village?
But the Cowards n basta-rds killed and burnt villages of Ibibio soldiers fighting for both the federal government and even the community of the 2nd in command of Biafra wasn't spared by d basta-rds cowards.
My Aunty is a living witness the IGBOs are treacherous and tribalistic to d core

They are the most tribalistic, most evil minded and treacherous set of people on earth

no you're wrong.... Go and get mbido igbo!!

Ikwu_zirim is to teach me

There's nothing like Ikuzirim!!

Iku is to fetch while ikwu is to say

Ikwuzirm is to say something to someone to learn...

While Iku... Can only be used in fetch something!

Example ikummiri, ikunri, iku mmanu!!

Go and get your mbido!!

I think you're very much right in your analysis, but the current trend is "Ikuzirim". eg: Nkuzi; Onye Nkuzi (Teacher), Kuzie/Kuzia (Teach). But if you're learning Igbo, using Mbidi Igbo, it's Ikwu (say), Ikwuzirim (Teach me). Anyways you've gone deeply in Igbo Laguage to even know all these. I think most of the words used in Mbidi Igbo are no more popular/replaced, as Igbo just like every other languages grow.

I'm 99% sure that are you Afonja but I don't blame you. I blame Ipob that are including other ethnic groups in biafra group.

Ipob keep on bringing shame to Ndi-igbo. Ipob and their
supporters no longer have shame in their face. They will sit down in there house and be drawing useless map.

You're welcome sir. Okposi is now a very fast developing town. Do well to visit again, my family house is at the back of Ajah Nwachukwu house, just close to the back gate of Federal Government College. I'll host you next time you visit sir.

We need igbos to know that we are not supporting the rogue governor and his godfathers. Why should we sit like this and the whole of Nigeria has left us behind. Abia is the worst state in Nigeria and SE particularly.
