Bede2u:
As for the article.....like pazienza my friend would always say....it is left for the pro-igbo of Delta to counter the anti-igbo of Delta. We in the east are done playing the big bro. We haven't gained anything from aligning with delta-igbos...but we sure have lost a lot. Hell our whole tribe suffered genocide because of the atrocities of a man from Delta (Nzeogwu).
Sort yourselves out

Pazienza always says it as it is.

they have unfreezed some accounts already

That's what I am not understanding some accounts have been unfrozen, so what is he saying again?

Gondonu:
These murderous herders have turned their attention on the south south now?

Then the end is near for them. We like being calm in the Niger Delta but when we react, the whole country feels it.

omenka:
Because you don't see the other people you mentioned interfere annoyingly in the business of their host. They mostly mind their business. You guys even organized a march for Trump.

You guys hardly mind your business, you should know this.

The faux intellectual is back with his stupid takes. If a tiny fragment of a water gets polluted does it mean the whole water will be polluted? Stop being an ignoramus with your silly opinions.

OROSUNBOLB:
You must be fulani herdsmen from the north with the way you're deliberately inviting calamity to the door steps of Igbo in Lagos.

If you're Igbo however,you no idea of the danger you're exposing innocent Igbo to in Lagos and could quickly spread to other parts of the south west within a short period. Don't fool yourself,at the end of the crisis you're calling for now,Igbo will definitely be the losers, trust me. This is not an appeal to you not to cause problem for your kinsmen (If you're Igbo truly) in Lagos but a concern for the innocent ones among you.

You have no idea of the enormity of the calamity you're wishing for and the sorrows, gnashing of teeth that will follow !

Understand the contest of an argument before delving into it. He said that if there's any protest, whether Igbos are involved or not, they will attack Igbos. So, what have I done wrong by telling him we await him?

pazienza:
Sorry nwanne.
I mistook you for identity crises suffering folks down in Rivers state.

Udo diri, anyi bu otu.

pazienza:
You are not well exposed. How can you be comparing the entire SE of 90 plus LGA with Etche of just 2 LGAs( Etche and Omuma) ?

SE isn't a homogeneous zone. We are made of different Igbo clans and each clan have their own way of greeting.

Ngwa people greet " Maazi", Bende people greet "Jokwa", Okigwe and environment greet " Awuna/Awulaa", Nkanu greet "Deeyo", Anambra central use " Daalu", Ezza use " Tokwehu", Aro say "Mma mma" etc.

There are like tens of other specific greetings depending on part of SE one comes from.

So when an Etche man from 2 LGA ethnic group suffering from identity crises decides to group all Igbo groups in SE together and start comparing us with his new 2 LGA ethnic group, it can get annoying.

Onye Nkuzi, if you go down you would see where I made reference to a proverb that summed all you have said. The person I was talking to wouldn't understand any of this since he isn't Igbo, , I learnt all these a long time ago. Anyway, Iime be kanka.

Juliusmalema:
Ohhhkkkkk

I didn't know. Thanks for educating me.

You are welcome.

EzeAro:
This superiority complex been displayed by the SE Igbos if true is totally uncalled for, who you dey form superior for... your fellow Igbo brethren? even though I've come to understand there are much more deeper dynamics that are responsible for all these denialism complexes. But I'm glad we're at least having these conversations so we can identify and resolve where the problems come from...I've e seen lots and lots of Igbos across the East coming on board proudly with their Igbo identity and it's been very encouraging! but more work definitely needs to be done.

Yes, I know we would surely bridge the divide and make people like Osadebe and Ojukwu smile in their graves that their hard work paid off.

[quote author=christistruth01 post=98976421]You mean Kanu who gave IPOB orders to burn down Lagos ?

Yes him.

am of the OPC not Kanu, who has any business with Kanu

Juliusmalema:
Well if that's the case you are from Etche Ethnic nationality...Etche ethnicity say kanka and Igbo ethnicity say Da'alu..

Can't You see?

Oga we share the same culture, we even share our border with Imo and Abia. Also in Etche/Omuma nobody denies being Igbo. It's called dialects, this a dialect of Igbo spoken by Etche and Omuma people. My people have a saying but the English translation is as follows; "Though tongue may culture/tradition remains the same".

EzeAro:
To the best of my knowledge and experience/interactions with Anioma people, the only part of Anioma (and correct me if I'm wrong) that deny been Igbos are predominantly from the Ika/Kwale axis down to Ukwuani. Then the Enuani parts where the likes of Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, JJ Okocha, Ned Nwoko etc and the rest come from have never denied their Igboness which would suggest because large parts of Enuani people were migrants from mostly Anambra that settled there.

This was part of the argument on Twitter, on why some Aniomas identify as Igbos and others don't. From the responses by the Anioma people (all clans included), they blamed Igbos from South East. Some said that Igbos from SE called them Delta Igbos or second class Igbos even after being corrected. Some others said they called them "fake Igbos" or accused them of twisting the language or borrowing the language.

Juliusmalema:
Lol, We are not new to this game of you people claiming tribes of others to drive home your point.


Hundreds if not thousands of your likes abounds here....

So you are not new and your moniker is also not new to such nonsense.

Not only Etche but Ncha.

Nde ala.

Clown, check my original account Privaldo and see me even demonizing Igbos as far back as 2018 before someone talked sense into me on this forum. I am a full blooded son of Umeto, Ubukwu, Ozuzu, Etche and a proud descendant of Amadioha Ozuzu, and there is nothing you or any other person can do about it. I even learnt this week from my mother that Ikwerre are not Igbos and are of bini descent that's why I didnt talk of them. In my place we say "Kanka" as thank you while Igbos from SE say "Da'alu", so stop being foolish some of us just want to learn.

Juliusmalema:
Show who exactly?

The audience are not here.

Take your message to their respective Facebook groups or rather chose a famous paper and write about it.

And not a gossip centre where even the audience aren't available.

meanwhile I still Insist you should be more concerned of yourself and let others be.

You guys have masturbated over this topic for long .

Pele, if you are interested move along nobody forced you to comment. Besides, I am from Etche in Rivers, and this should be only the second time I am talking about this probably because it trended on Twitter today, and new insights from historians and record keepers were shared.

Dogogo1900:
You can't force someone to identify as an Igbo if they feel uncomfortable with the idea. The minority tribes in the Niger Delta have said time and time again that they are not Igbos but yet you continue to cry about it,.Na by force?
The Ibibios,Annangs and Efik people speak almost the same language and are obviously related but you will never hear the Ibibios claiming that the Efiks and Annangs are Ibibios,what is wrong with you Igbo people?
You go around claiming everyone is Igbo,the Ikweres are Igbos,the Ijaws are Igbos, the Aniomas are Igbos .
Leave other autonomous tribes alone ,they don't want to be igbos.

Nobody said the Ijaws were Igbos, they are a distinct ethnic group. The Aniomas share a relationship with the Onichas of Anambra, I will talk of it later on. Dennis Osadebe (he is from Anioma) made this very clear in his works.

Emyogalanya:
don't say what you don't know . which atani man told you he be is not igbo? the term ndi igbo that they use for upland igbos is not to say they aren't igbos. they are " olu igbo " which simply means riverine igbos. in igbo language it's a term used to define location. so when u hear terms like " olu na igbo nine" it means the complete igbo race. our people say " ife obuna igbo na eme ma olu igbo adiro , imara na igbo ezuro oke. meaning that when ever igbo assemble and the olu people are not there then that assembly is incomplete. the olu igbos also believe that "nri ji ofor igbo nine" once a general gathering of igbos. it's an nri man that is eldest . no matter how small or young he is . the area you mentioned is a conglomerate of upland igbos, returnee igbos from igala and Benin.

You are very correct.

Juliusmalema:
Feb 10 2021 and this is your achievement.

What is is Anioma and what is Igbo

What is Keshi and what is kala.

Losing sleep over something that won't bring food to your table.

Humans are distinct in nature and you should be more concerned

I am actually trying to show them that there isn't a difference when a price is attached to it.

IbnBattuta1960:
I think the present day people do not really know their roots.
The people of onitsha, atani and those across the Niger river claim they are not Igbos but are of igbo ancestry. This idea of distinction gained prominence after the civil war.

When I am free I will talk about the history of the Aniomas and their relationship to the Igbos. I saw an article on it today, and I find it worthy for all to read.

Iykopee:
Animals like u no go fit stand Igbo man anywhere not even in your fathers thatched hut. The Igbos are prepared for your madness come Saturday.

Inside your Lagos, u go chop serious beating. If u get liver show your madness on Saturday.

Nwanne hapu ndi a, dem too they talk. We dey wait Saturday no too far dem go know say even inside Lagos dem fit collect can.

EzeAro:
Nwokem ignore that raving lunatic, we still remember how the Hausa boys dealt with them when they tried nonsense in Fagba during the Endsars spillover of violence, we still have the receipts of them crying all over Twitter about Hausas chasing them away and burning their properties . We dey wait them tomorrow in all the Igbo dominated areas to ignite that fire they will never put out, they tried our patience in Okota during the election disenfranchisements from their hungry Tinubu sponsored thugs who were harassing people at polling booths etc.. until Igbo boys rallied together to beat shege banza comot for their body and nearly lynched their kingpin (an OPC guy) called Demola to death.

Hapu ndi a, na only noise dem sabi make.

christistruth01:
Yes it was and Obasanjo threw him in Jail

Ok, I just wanted to confirm if the "killer" was the person you were talking of.

johnmartus:
If you like create 100 monikers. Seun will not give you a moderator. Continue trolling.

Look at this cry baby, who wants Seun's job. Being a mod on this forum should be one of the hardest jobs on Earth because of wailers like you, but that aside don't forget to call me whenever you are crying.

johnmartus:
Warn them now.those destroyers.

Your tears yesterday was very sweet , when next you cry please call me to have a thirst.

Lehadeh:
Let there be any protest on Saturday. Your properties will definitely go for it. This is Lagos not aba

You are only making unnecessary nose.

The picture below speaks largely of how Nigeria works, when they need to divide the Igbos they throw in the Anioma context but, when they contest for a position they refer to all of them as Igbos.

Lehadeh:
Let there be any protest on Saturday. Your properties will definitely go for it. This is Lagos not aba

Biggest joke of the century. Unu amaro kam siri kwado.
