The rumors are true...I’ve had first hand experiences, not willing to divulge much information here.

Ask them why are there always large drums outside their houses?
Don't say what you don't know.

Third Class?.......Anyway i'm from Afikpo in Ebonyi and since I was born I have never seen anything different between Abiriba,Ohafia,Arochukwu and Afikpo.

Greetings the same, Languages almost thesame, mode of farming thesame, Tradition thesame(apart from eyeing Visitors...lol undecided), Afikpo people are also modern and Well educated just like you may claim
Hope you know that guy is a Yoruba Muslim who likes pretending to be Igbo to attack other Igbo groups

Ebonyi you insult is doing stratospherically better in terms of governance, infrastructure, anti-corruption, etc than Abia State.
Unless you want to deceive yourself, you should know this is true.
And hey, I am not even from Ebonyi State.

Oh! My dear abiriba in Ohafia LGA.

Abia State are lucky to have you in their state, because if not for the existence of Ohafia and Ngwa in Abia state, Abia would have ended up as a 3rd class Igbo state like Ebonyi!

First visited Abiriba as a child(12yrs Old),Abiriba,Ohafia and Arochukwu( Abam) People Share Boundaries.
I'm 34yrs Old now and I still haven't seen the Kind of Houses I saw there in any other Nigerian Village.
Some of the Biggest Houses(Triplexes) I ever saw in my entire life with Swimming pools and Fuel Filling Stations Pumps inside.The mighty Gates mounted at the front of some of those houses alone will run into millions.

Kaa woo, it’s told that back then due to the fact that we were war mercenaries, we travelled far and wide for work. Most time only few will return, the rest used to settle to protect the conquered territory.

boss, the Abiribarians prefer building in their Villa first before building in the town.
Big houses just full everywhere there.

Ishiewo:
you won't understand, boss.
I'm an indigenous Abiribarian; forget Wikipedia second_hand information.
Bro I don’t mean to state differently but I think they’re still the same ohafia but I think Abiriba have a good measure of autonomy from the main ohafia clan

I served in ohafia in 2017, okon aku to be precise and I was at this event that year, I also attended the 1 in ebem (can’t remember d village bfr ebem which is the ancestral capital of ohafia) and of course Okon aku festival and also the villages around (forgotten most names)

The features of the traditions are mostly similar...same traditional dressing, almost similar masquerades and d warrior dancers with “human skull heads” on a basket, and the ohafia ibo is different from the general ibo and I remember that’s what they spoke at the event there
