I read it...
The fact that you don't feel like being an Igbo doesn't mean others should follow suite...
You keep showing Similarities between Ika and BINI, But not between Ika and IGBO...
The Yorubas derive pleasure in the dis-intergration of the Igbos...
Apart from South-west, the Okun people of Kogi state are Yorubas... The Ilorin people(capital of kwara) are Yorubas...
Though, they(Okuns and ilorins) are in the northern regions... They have never doubted being Yorubas...
The FG wanted to make the Okun people a distinct ethnic group, but they declined it...

---

I wanna ask a question...
Which ethnic group do the people of Asaba belongs to??

All the yoruba fragment groups never claim they are yorubas or see it as a big thing.. The ikares, illajes, eguns, ijebus and all the others see demselves as who they are! They don't come out on Tv to claim lagos or ondo because of oil or any reasons.. But u guys transport urselves from the east and start claiming the midwest.. Easterners don't like ebonyi state d way dey like rivers and delta just because of oil! If u really love anioma why have u never supported their bid for anioma state? In all the fora that the issue has been discussed igbos distance themselves claiming that anioma state would be an extra southsouth state.. In the whole country no group is more befitting of a state than anioma, yet u all turn blind eyes and come round to claim dem as ur own

Macelliot:
Long epistle....
What's your fear of being Igbo??
I can't speak 4 the Ikans...
But, as far as I'm concerned.. Asaba here is 100% Igbo and nothing less...

Bless you.,

Not a long epistle.. You should read more often!

Chiwude:
Why keep answering that RexBurton guy. Can't you see he is a Bini. His aim is to cause disharmony in Anioma.

See I no get una time.. My mama na from oza-nogogo, I dey speak d language wella any weather. But my argument remains that you can't claim areas instead allow dem have a referendum.. One involving verified people from that ethnic group ..
From una arguments anybody wey share boundary with una na Bleep- igbo.. Assuming say na igbos dey abuja we for dey get bwari-igbos, fulani-igbos, hausa -igbos, kanuri - igbos! Please respect the singularity and self determination of every tribe! Proximity is not relationship

PrinceBundu:
am already tired of Catholic to talk more of Anglican, this Biafra religion is cool, it will purify Christianity and also merge Judaism to make it super religion, how can the bible tell u to turn ur left chin to be slapped for the second time , that means if u are with gun and someone shoots u, u will come out well to be killed well. don't u think its absurd , that's how the colonial masters got us, but Biafra religion will fight and purify it and fight Islam fire for fire

ok here is a confused boy...

myklangelo:
I believe in self actualization. A core Igbo man. I believe in the supremacy of my tribe. I am also happy I am a christian. Biafran church sounds mediocre. Church by permutation is christian sef.
The 1st Igbo language blog is out, it is fun and insightful. Visit, comment, share and criticize.www.odeniigbo..com

ok.. here is a smart guy looking for ways to make money with the Biafra agitation

mikeapollo:
I fear for that hitherto peaceful country called Sweden!

actually very sad because sweden has been a peaceful country with very little racism, but recently pro-democracy groups have been calling for a drastic reduction in the number of immigrants from Africa! This same sweden had been giving out scholarships to indigent african students.. i hope these events are unconnected

I am a nigerian and i support biafra so much, these people have been ridiculed and made scapegoats so it would be interesting to observe how prosperous they will become and the old Nigeria in tears begging for forgiveness from the Igbos. This thread also made me realise that the Igbos knew Abraham and Isaac even before the Missionaries came.. really enlightening

hmmmmn.. not likely... the picture doesn't look photographed

I have seen the signpost with my eyes.. It's still there till today! I could get someone to send us a few shots of it

All of una wey talk say na photoshop obviously no get cars

feran14:

It's not photoshop.. It's in NNPC mega station on sapele road benin city.. Everytin no be photoshop

what's so special about the south-south? i thought Imo state produces as much crude as bayelsa state? that should be enough for biafra! we are tired of this attachment and claiming of south south minorities.. we are not Igbos

the pleasure is mine

barcanista:
Nice to meet you my bros..

barcanista:
From Okrika, Rivers state... And you?

Ovia, Edo state

barcanista where are you from/?

The last two letters were added to derive a meaning in Igbo language...

aniocha is igbo but anioma isn't

They should go to fishing.. Stop all exploration and exploitation

Macelliot:
You still have a long way.... Do research bro! There's nothing like "Delta-Igbo."
The word "Delta" is a mere geographical expression.. Igbo is Igbo... Ika is a dialect, and not a language....
There are more than 70 Igbo dialects.... Many communities in Enugu, Imo state e.t.c do not understand their different dialects at all, but the "Central-Igbo" binds them all.....
A Nsukka man can never Understand a single bit of the dialect spoken by an Owerri, Ohafia, Abakaliki man, unless they speaks in "CENTRAL-IGBO.."

Can you tell me that the indigenes of Asaba has more link to bini kingdom than to the Onitsha-Igbo speaking people
Asaba I know is 100% Igbo and 0.0000000% Bini....
That's fact, deal with it...

Anioma means "good land" in Igbo...

Anioma is a term coined by Chief Dennis Osadebey to classify the Igbo-speaking people of Delta state...

The former President of the Ohaneze Ndigbo (Chief Ralph Uwachue) is an Anioma Man...

Miss tourism of Delta state, an IKA says she is proudly Igbo.

NAIJASOM:
[b The King himself has spoken. ]Ok the above is from a true Anioma king who trace his ancestors and even know them by names. Aniomas are igbos with a different dialect. Simple [/b]

How can somwone with ancestors names efeizomo, obaigbena, okundaye and egboba be an Igbo man? Are these Igbo names? As the lineage traces backwards the names get more specific to a particular tribe, can't u see that u guys are devoid of logic?
That kind is obviously leaving something out or he doesn't know his history.. So the binis gave them new names because they went to help them fight? How long did the Idah campaign last? The binis blocked the fulanis at idah river and made statues, after the fulas shot arrows at the statues for long and they didn't fall , they ran back.. The defense force did not pursue for long.. It was the kogi tribes who tool the battle personal.. There are records! So the time frame is too short to have converted these 'nri kings' and gave them new names

From the way barcanista spelt Oba Eweka I instantly knew that it was an Igbo man talking.. The essence of this post of yours is to draw common grounds between the south and the east just as you referred to Bayelsa as old eastern states. In classifying people we do not work based on the government's classification but based on who the people say they are.. The bosniaks, slavs and croats were locked in a country for so long but they never misunderstood the fact that they were just neighbours and not brothers..
Since parts of Imo are oil producing , den good.. Let biafra go away and have Imo as their oil producing area , we don't have to tie all the OPAs together because they have a common resource.. Just follow my plan let's see if the Imo people would allow you use their oil to develop the entire south-east.. Charity shiuld begin at home.
All these talk of cutting and claiming should stop.. Barcanista I feel you are too intelligent for what u wrote up there

I feel that several of my braincells died horrible deaths for reading this inane crap.

Its all the mami waters and witch doctor and curse etc stuff I was referring to. If people had the education (and basic common sense) to realise such things are superstitious rubbish they would not need to punish by parading around a village in a wheelbarrow!

This issue of lawmakers salary is extremely important and yet very few people are talking about it. It is regrettable that in a developing country like Nigeria, with a mono economy we have the highest paid lawmakers in the whole world. Our representative earn about N600M annually and our senators earn N1B annually. These figures do not include unofficial monies accrued from ''other sources'' such as kickbacks and bill passage returns. Can we continue to sustain this kind of corruption? How does this scenario put our country in international perspective? This is a country that struggles to pay workers salaries, can no longer afford subsidy coupled with dwindling oil prices yet we can afford to pay 25% of our budget to these people. This is an outrage.

By 2011, the Senate’s quarterly “running cost” was jerked to N45 million per member, while the House members received N36 million. A hostile public response subsequently forced the earnings down to what has remained an unclear rate since. Officially, the lawmakers claimed the package was lowered by 63%, but that has been refuted by lawmakers speaking informally.

Since then, the Senate and the House have refused to disclose their member’s exact earnings.

If such prospect existed, it seemed foreclosed after both chambers tacitly included the National Assembly amongst a number of institutions like INEC, Courts, given statutory allocations from the budget, meaning their funding will no longer subject to an executive or even legislative approval. With that new status came more secrecy, as previously available spending details have been since curtailed from the public.

I listened to Mr. Victor Lar , a senator from Plateau state speak on on corruption and the national assembly this morning on radio nigeria, and I was shocked with his blatant defence of the salaries. Let us ask ourselves, is there any meaningful bill that the national assembly has passed in the last two years? Any bill that makes the common man have better living conditions? They only sit and argue then adjourn till another sitting, then they resume arguments! Even when they fight, they fight for their pockets or their parties. From the national assembly to the state assemblies, they fight for their parties and for majority. Mr. Lar said that the senators deserve what is given to them, and do not determine what they get. And that the question of morality is another issue. This is coming from a man who heads an anti-corruption committee. I rexbuton hereby state that Mr. Victor Lar is a thief, and I don't owe anyone an apology. The RMAFC sets salaries for everyone receiving government salaries, including the national assembly but they refused to follow, they challenged it. The president is supposed to have veto powers to overrule issues like this, but they overruled his veto powers. Who are these lawmakers? It is like a child writing an exam and marking his own scripts, we cannot allow the National assembly to run without checks and controls, that is why they kill and maim to get there
“It’s a big shame that the lawmakers are the ones that break the constitution and pay themselves the stupendous salaries they take home. When asked about the validity of lawmakers who have pending cases with the EFCC, the thief stated that "as long as you are elected, it is assumed that you have fufilled all the eligibility criteria, therefore your are presumed innocent", imagine that from an educated person.. In reality, in developed countries if you have a corruption scandal, you resign. People even resign for racist or sexual emails that they send to their friends when these emails leak

I believe it is time Nigerians begin to re-examine our values system, let us set things right. Soon doctors would go on strike asking for a wage hike, then PHCN generating plants staff, then Judicial staff, even association of Telecoms and Mast watchers. And they all cite the huge packets NA staff take home. The same NA staff that we don't even know. Their parties just conduct primaries and give tickets to the highest bidder, we don't even ask where these people get monies to buy nomination tickets, and they contest, you vote, they leave for Abuja. Bye ! till the next elections, and we don't stop and realise that we are just pawns, central pawns in the power play. Do we really know these politicians? what have they contributed? In my local government area I am ashamed to say that Igbinedion's daughter won the Reps elections, what has she done to merit it? has she held any office before that? We only know about her failed marriage and her family's adeptness in corporate corruption, and yet she won! with a good margin! That is just a small experiment of the Nigerian political landscape!

Let us revisit the constitution, let us rewrite it, there are so many areas that encourage corruption, so many extant laws that are either obsolete or inadequate for the new face of corruption.

I just hope the Incoming president and Mr. Murray Bruce can live up to the billing, and oppose these agents of destruction in the national assembly who want us to insure their generations instead of developing their country
