Sadly, you haven't succeed in making any points other than needless yelling of abuses. With all the fervor and energy poured into your irrelevant post, one can easily see bitterness lining up every single line of your post. One thing you should learn about me is no insulting words, abuses, curses etc. whatsoever on nairaland gets to me neither do they get me upset.

I don't engage in insults. I am not animalistic. I wouldn't say I'm too old for that because I am not any where nearing old, rather, I am too mature (maka ndi kpolu onwe fa 'graduates' na-asu 'matured') and spiritually minded to indulge in such. I reason intellectually and people who can't do simple intellectual rebuttals resort to insults instead to cover up for insecurity.

Now let me engage you on an intellecutal level, young wench. Instead of all the bunkum you spat up there, why did't you write instead about the good things of your state that make it better, as common sense dictates? If you didn't like my opinion, what stopped you from listing out those qualities of your state that makes it stand out from other states and boasting about them? You only boast of what you're proud of, right? If Anambra people are boastful, as you believe, they must have something they are proud of worth boasting of right? Who holds you physically from doing the same?

Anybody who resorts to needless exchange of curses, worse still when it is a full-page long of empty ramblings, rather than simple thoughtful replies in reply to an opinion they disagree simply lacks intellect and is incapable of intellectual reasoning. I'd suggest you read newspapers and observe how intellectual debates take place on an intellectual level and how intelligent people argue.

Everybody, place, country etc has something they are proud of and they boast of. It is in your duty to find what makes you different and unique from others and boast about it. Rather than stooping so low like high school gossips to engage in rantings, I ssuggest directing all your energy into using your brain to simply think by listing out what you makes your area better. Up until now Ihuomadinihu and InyinyaAgbaOku have miserably failed to list areas which make their state(s) better and unique. Instead they've been playing emotional little girls that they are.

I pose a challenge to all 3 of you. In an intellectual rebuttal to my post, please list out things about your state(s) that make you proud of your state which are worth boasting about and make them better than Anambra state. This is a simple intellectual challenge to you and it is my utmost expectation that you would not flounder on it.

#I don't expect an intellectual reply anyway.

Ok,forget about the Onicha dialect. Lets change the music....Where are you from ?

MadCow1:


For someone who called Anambraians 'uneducated', you have used the word 'immatured' twice.. Your post is an indictment of the quality of your so-called education. #JustSaying..

And on the message of your grammatically bereft post, my response remains the same; Maturity is subjective, #GoFigure.

OdenigboAroli:


This is the most emotional and pain ridden rant I have ever read on Nairaland....You probably need an oxygen after writing this "horseshit"....lol

Onicha person spoke and you didnt understand a word?
You probably shouldn't be in school....lol

@OP, it is not as if Anambra is superior to other Igbos but its just that it is regarded as a royal thing sort of to be from anambra. Just as Americans, Britons, Australians are all English speaking and genetically the same people but being from England kinda attaches this prestige to you and your English accent stands you out from all other English speakers. Same applies to Anambra people and Anambra Igbo.

Many things contribute to this fact. History has it that Nri-Igbo Ukwu axis in Anambra is the cradle of the Igbo race, from which other Igbos came from. Many other theories exist that say otherwise anyway. Another thing has to do with the Anambra general dialect. Anambra Igbo is deemed posh, sweet-sounding and classy to speak of all Igbo dialects. When one mentions Anambra general Igbo, one refers specifically to the Onitsha/Awka/Enugwu-Ukwu/Nri Igbo that is used to represent Anambra. When I was growing up I used to follow my dad to many social Igbo gatherings, and I observed that the general Igbo spoken was the anambra dialect, and many non-anambra Igbos all spoke the dialect. This is so because it is somewhat the easiest of Igbo dialects to learn and speak and very easy to understand by all other Igbo groups. The Onitsha man does not need to twist his Igbo for any random Igbo person to understand him. He is easily understood by everyone. On the other hand, an Owerri man or Abakaliki man, in order for an outsider to understand him, has to modify his Igbo to be understood. It has also remained the default dialect in most Igbo speaking movies since the inception of Nollywood till today and non-Anambra Igbos all speak the dialect in the movies. Also, for those Igbos who like to form English-speaking Ajebo and classy chic/guy, they can speak Anambra Igbo and not be regarded as ajepako unlike compared to some concentrated Igbo dialects which when spoken Igbos around you will immediately regard you as 'bush person', i.e 'onye ime obodo'. I did my secondary school in Owerri and my Igbo secondary school teacher was from Anambra and we had 2 Igbo teachers that taught us, the second being from Imo state and each assigned to particular classes. Everybody used to enjoy the Anambra woman's class because of her Igbo and her classes were always very full and students from the other classes assigned to the other Igbo teacher would come to my class during Igbo class time just to listen to the woman speak. Anambra Igbo is admired all over Igboland and when in other states, especially Imo and Abia state, and you speak Anambra Igbo, many would often reply you back in the dialect and want you to speak on so they could enjoy it more. I grew up and also did my NYSC in Owerri, Imo state and countless times have I been admired because of my Anambra Igbo accent. My PPA was Imo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission(ISOPADEC), a commission in charge of all oil producing activities in Imo state but they drafted we corpers out to special schools to impact positively in terms of education to the students. The moment my students knew I was from Anambra, they wouldn't let me be o everyday I came to work. In class, I must speak Anambra Igbo to them or else they'd start making loud noises. I usually told them stories, in Anambra Igbo, and they loved it so much each time I did and they would be going crazy because of the dialect. Some even went out of their way to learn the dialect and once I stepped into class, they'd start speaking it to me...and I'd be like... . I also remember making a call one day to my distant cousin from the same village, I had just bought credit from the store woman and stood nearby making the call in my dialect, and next thing she and her husband came out of their store, to look for that anambra guy speaking this Anambra Igbo, and when they saw it was me and refused to go inside again o but stood there listening to my conversation. When I noticed what was happening, trust me nau , I even increased my tempo and blasted the thing the more...they just stood there smiling at me. Once I dropped the call, they walked back inside their store smiling. Aha, I just made someone's day. Or how many times have I gotten away with great deals and bargains at Owerri main market just because I spoke Anambra Igbo. Immediately they knew i'm from Anambra they'll be like...'nwa anambra!'...and tended to ease up and gave me much better deals. Even my mom was loved greatly at FUTO Owerri where she worked just because she's from Anambra...'nwanyi Anambra' as they would fondly call her.

Anambra people are also known by other Igbos to be hardworking, have money, or good at business and Imolites the ones going to school the most in Igboland. Many high profile Igbo indigenes tend to come from Anambra such as Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Adichie, Cosmas Maduka aka Cosharis, owner of Ekene dili Chukwu Motors, Ifesinachi Motors, owner of Innoson motors, Dora Akunyili, Oby Ezekwesili, Philip Emeagwali(aka father of the Internet), Pete Edochie, Oge Okoye, P Square, Flavour etc are all from Anambra. Last year, one of our family friends from Ebonyi state told me how majority of the real estate properties and high-profile buildings and houses in Abakaliki are owned by Anambra people. It is the desire of many non-anambra girls to marry an Anambra man because they believe they would not suffer financially. Anambra men and women make very good husbands and wives too.

And also, anambra people help each other a lot! We call it, 'ime nwanne' ie 'brotherly relationships'. This is one big difference I noticed between Anambrarians and Imolites. Anambra people tend to be nicer and kinder. It is common to find a selfless person or an averagely rich man/woman in Anambra training orphans, less-priviledged people, distant relations or people not related to him in anyway all through primary, secondary and university, feeding and clothing them in addition. This is quite rare to find in Imo state. In Enugu township(formerly Anambra's state capital and still retains mainly Anambra Igbo, many Anambra people live there, and the Anambra attitude) or Awka(capital of Anambra state), you can literally run out of transport money on the streets and walk up to people to plead for money and before you reach the 3rd person you would have found someone who would give you the money you need in full, however in Imo state you would have to reach the 15th or 20th person to find someone willing to help you out. Being kind is a rarity in Imo state but a normal thing in Enugu or Anambra state.

It is not my intention to extol anambra state or anambra Igbo over other dialects but I am giving you an insider's view, as an Igbo person born and bred in Igboland, of the extra attention given to Anambra state and people in Igboland by other Igbos.

ndidibabe: The fact that your prefer a dark skinned guy doesn't mean he is ugly. We are not talking about what you prefer here. For instance, I can never go out with this kind of guy because of the tatoo. Tatoo is a turn off for me . Yet, I must admit that he has a solid-rock-man face. No fat and no fake curly long hair. He is so 'manly'.

bunmila: ...

ndidibabe: If you say this guy is ugly, then you are seeing double. He is such a fine guy....

kobonaire: it is all relative and according to individual perception I guess .... for example you may think that this dude is handsome over the guy the OP posted ....

masonkz: I seriously still do not understand what people see in this dude to be falling head over heels for him




People must be damn thirsty.

bunmila:
No he's not
He's got a sexy look. And those chiselled features are something else

jreyez: Everyone just posting 'Eminem' like they really know the guy... Piece of fake people....

PS - I started listening to Eminem at the age of 5.. Saw him physically at the age of 19 at cali.. Performing a show....

I can rap all Eminems verse, right from 8 mile.

jey4all: Erhiga name should be on the top 10

Pricelesss: What about Lil Wayne, Beyonce, R.Kelly, Wiz Kid. I don't quite agree with your list. Though MJ and Houston deserve a place on the list.

2kass: Jay Z over Eminem, Celine Dion shouldn't be on the list, Who the Heck is Carlos Santana and Dolly Parton. Where's Awilo who rocked Naija streets with Makossa for years, where's our own PSquare, I would pick Dbanj over 6 peeps out of the list. Arrant Nonsense.

Geestunnar:
you guyz shud just shut it and close up *i smell jealousy*

mrvocalprowess: y wil i b ashamed i use tekino ??phne i got wit my own cash?? sorry yorke,my self esteem aint as low as dat... by d way which crapberry do u uz upload pics plz or hide in shame especially if its not a bb10...13k tekino pings.. 5ok bold5 pings...ok oo

Geestunnar:

dharamanil: . sho lee is not dat fast... U can groove to it or komole with no sweat. And if a song is being played errytime on mtv, dat doesn't mean its very very good. They rarely play picasso baby but I have seen ppz react to dat joint ones it drops in dclub

dharamanil: lyrix wise majority of our naija artist are all useless.. So abeg allow d guy

safarigirl: lol, bros are you a comedian? Sho Lee is evergreen? Abeg no gree me laugh, 'TONIGHT' and 'YAWA DEY' are evergreen songs, from beats to lyrical content and vocals, those 2 songs alone will trump the shi outta 'the way she's whining like and Indian, I come dey jonz like I be Indiana' (wtf! Retard3d). Evergreen songs are songs with lyrical depth, not just some club banger. Sho lee will fade soon enough

dharamanil: . Listen run my race is d. Only song that sets a standard. From now till next year I don't like, like to party. Talking of terryg I don't brock to such nonsense but am sure u knw dat d. New song from burner sounds more like what daddy shoki did

safarigirl: it's you that's not normal musically. What bloody useless sho lee? That senseless retard3d song?
Burna boy's style is for a certain class of people, not everyone is expected to relate to it, some people are too shallow to understand the depth so I really don't blame you for all of this bull you wrote

Okiki_Oluwa: If true, he must be high on marijuana.
From 2Face, P-Square to D'banj.
Who sang a song that's as melodious as Sho le!
Sean Tizzle sang Sho le.
The song was damm nice.
Last Bullet:
Burna Boy should not take it personal. He should work harder next year to go international.
Even people like Iyanya, KCee, Chidinma, Olamide no fit carry the award.

aventura: [b]Fresh Prince

Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys, they were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air"

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
License plate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to Bel-air!

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "Yo, homes smell you later!"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-air[/b]
