Sports / Nigeria'll Qualify & Kaita'll Play In Quarter Finals by Salvie(m): 10:11am On Jun 18, 2010
let's 4get the pains of the last game and pray for Nigeria to still qualify. argentina will almost certainly win greece and we could just win korea 0-2.
some faith is to pray kaita plays in quarter final.

the fact that he got emotional shows his passion for Nigeria. the fact that his absence affected the team showed he was a pillar in the team!

we will qualify

Andre Uweh:

@Agbotaen: I do understand the relevance of history, however, in todays Nigerian context, your identity is not just about your history of 750 years ago nor moonlight tales but what you represent and accepted by your neighbours. The neigbours of the Ika people e.g the Binis know that Ikas are Igbos and other Nigerians think so.Your attempt at making the Ikas an ethnic group is a failed one.
Stop turning logic upside down. The Ika people at present (majority) regard themselves as Ndigbo or Delta Igbo. Last April in Owerri, a proud Ika and  proud Igbo-Jim Ovia received an Ikenga Igbo award as the best banker of last year. I hope you do not have any problem with that.
The late Obi of Akumazi was one of the Ika Obis who picked Amb R. Uwaechue as the sole candidate of Ohanaeze ndi Igbo last Nov 2009.
You may relocate to Bini if you wish but stop spreading lies of non Igboness of Ndiika.

- i really wish any Igbo man can trace his ancestory as far back as 250 years, that would have helped us know who they are really. Igbos are great personnalities, no doubt, but it is weakness to want to look for those to coopt into your line-up in order to beef up self worth. An Ika man will not accept such gang movements.


006:

@ agbotaen

Unfortunately, I had a friend from Agbor and he said he was Igbo. Both of us conversed in Igbo sometimes and he had never lived in SE; he was born in Agbor and schooled in Agbor. Maybe your blood line is Bini which is not surprising because Ika is a mixture of Igbo (majority) and Bini (minority), that’s why the language structure of Ika is Igbo. A lot of Bini words and names are in Ika, just like other groups that make up Igbo ethnicity have names and words that are strange to other groups.

As  ChinenyeN stated, “the Igbo are not a tribe. They are an amalgamation of different groups (related and unrelated). The thing that makes these groups "Igbo" is largely just the linguistic classification (as in, they linguistically fall within "Igboid" language family), and partly cultural. Little to none of it is historical.”

If only you back up your narrative with true facts not ones you pulled out of nowhere. How on earth was French spoken in England? This calls for question the truthfulness of your narrative.

- i speak Igbo very well. i learnt that in primary school (in Agbor as part our school curriculum) thought by missionary schools run by Igbos who were immediate benefitiaries of Niger Delta evangelization. I perfected it in UNN, but that will not make me Igbo. In the US I call Igbo man Brother as well as I call the Bini man Brother in Europe. But I know I am Ika, when the chips are down I would not stand up to be listed as Ibo, Igbo or Igbon - as the Ikas call Igbos, it would even be a Taboo to an older Ika man to call him such- the meaning of Igbo in Ika may be explained by Agbotean on a later occassion.


grafikdon:

Don't worry, when the chips are down, you will know whether there is a difference between Ika and Ngwa. Until then, continue deceiving yourself and let Nigerians have a big laugh at your expense.

yes dear, there's a BIG difference. If there's anyone who has deceived themselves here, it would be Igbos who seek affirmation by size in adding a people who orginally loated them as being part of their race.


Beaf:

We need to face the man squarely for what he said (bearing in mind that this is very old and outdated news).

We also need to be civilised and not attack any ethnicity. If Ika people call themselves Igbo, who are we to deny them their ethnicity? To the best of my knowledge, they have always been called Ika Igbo, Bendel Igbo or Delta Igbo.
Igbo is Igbo, leave wahala jare.

Ikas were never named along with the Ibos until after the Biafran War. The Ikas were under the Western region, then Mid-Western Region. Even at creation of Biafra Ika was not with them, instead Biafran Soldiers making for Lagos to take power from Gowon declared Republic Of Benin (former Mid-western Nigeria) with Ika as part of it, the ravaging Fed troops took out all rebellion from Ore down to Asaba where they had the great genocide called "Chewing Gum". Because most Easterners know little or nothing about history, it was assumed that the war in Mid-west was federal govt fighting on Biafran grounds - but no, it wasnt. As a matter of fact apart from civil structures and panick at sounds of shelling on Biafran troops, Ikas suffered no damage in the war. that is why this whole mix-up of Ikas being Igbos or even adding them on the map of the new Biafra bacomes laughable.

you make me laugh! y are igbos so bent on looking for joinders here and there? Ikas are not Ibos - no matter how much u try to convince a man that he's an eagle, he knows deep within what he is. Yes, the Ika land has several Ibo settlements, and you can identify them by their names, but a greater majority of them are Binis by ancestory. you cannot take away a man's identity because of what u think of him.

No doubt the Ibos are very enterprising and so is their language, which b4 the civil war was the most influential in the southern Nigeria. The Igbo language was fast becoming a language for trade across the coast of the Bight of Biafra (not the failed Biafran state - the ocean i mean) until the colonial days came. The most influenced were: the oil rivers, abakaliki and the Bini Empire. The Bini Empire which Spanned from Onitsha to present day Benin Republic had its strongest influence from across the Niger, the Igbos who provided labor and deities (for instance the longest civil war recorded in the Bini Empire resulted from the exit of the Nri Eze-mmo who was the Obas chief fetish priest until he discovered his daughter was placed in the family way without formal marital rites by the Oba - something he considered a taboo, another priest confirmed her as bearing the heir and the fight to bring her back to Idu (Bini) led to Agha-Idu. So long was the war that most Princes - Binin armies are led by Royal Princes - began settling where they had conquered and with the blessing of the Oba each prince began reigning over his army chiefs and community as an Obi - this was the birth of Onitsha, Ahaba (Asaba), Okpanam, etc. A few others like Agbor, Ute-Okpu (and later Owa, a state formed from Ute-Okpu) were already existing States under the Oba of Bini long before the Bini Civil war, Agha-Idu. Most others were Igbo settlers -e.g.  Igbo Uzo (Ibusa)).

So strong is the influence of the Igbo language that Igbo words are now used in Bini dictions today and a local community in Idu (Bini) speaks what you would call Ibo dialect, while communities closer to the Igbos have totally lost their Bini dictions and speak developed dialects of the Ibo language e.g. Onitsha, Asaba and Okpanam. However, the leaderships of these communities maintain their Royal loyalty to the Oba of Bini, that is why they still use the Adah and Ogwugwu staff created by the Oba palace for their serving ambassadors. The Bini empire had ambassadors in different lands across the then west africa: Sanghai, Mali, Ife, Nri, Ibira and Sudan.

In the case of Jim, even his surname tells you, he is Bini by ancestory, Ovia. Accepting Awards does not make you an ancestoral son of the soil, else Igbinedion would be citizen of several nations.

Just get your facts in place people and show some respect for other peoples' roots.

I am Ika, I speak the Ibo language very well, my surname Alibor is derived from 2 words "Ali" - an ibo diction and "Borm" - an edo diction, meaning "This land has favored me". In summary I did say we (the Ika people) has been blessed by both the Igbo and Bini heritage, but over the years has evolved into a unique entity of its own, that despite remaining a member of the Royal Bini Federation and speaking a language made up of 70% ibo diction, 20% Bini diction, 9% Esan diction and 1% yoruba diction - she is indeed a unique nation with its own culture, norms, religion, value system, economy, people and history.

lallafati:

Well, i guess you just have to be careful who you allow your heart to fall for,  love is important but it is definitely not enough sometimes. I just came out of a 4 year long relationship in which i truly gave my all. But differences such as religion, culture and other things like handling money (his closet was 3 times my own and shop till you drop was more than a hobby of his), a lack of ambition, disagreements on handling social life and other things that revealed themselves with time made us incompatible. I really believed love could patch up the differences and I just had to make concessions. Well, i ended up distancing myself from my family and friends, alone in world in which he was king. Made too many concessions in the name of love,  Conclusion: religion and culture are fundamental in a relationship esp if marriage and kids are in the plans. But also other things such as values that one cherishes. Also in a healthy committed relationship you should be able to be your own person, blossoming and developing into a better individual,  not trying to fit a mold to please the other person, unless the change and the reshaping comes from within you.

Thank you so much Lallafati. This' quite helpful for me

NPF is the most decayed government institution in Nigeria, sustaining corruption, crime and pains.

Just this evening, there was an armed robbery attack opposite my office, the NPF guys did not only arrive hours after the robbers had begun sleeping in their homes, they (NPF) began arresting innocent passers-by as suspects. How on earth can a young guy in suits and carrying laptop be part of an armed robbery gang that struck 5 hours before he passed the scene? These police guys do everything to drive you crazy.

The greatest favor any leader can do to this great country is rid Nigeria of NPF as we know it today!

^^^ Corrupt, yes.
Every ethnic group in Nigeria is because of Abuja I mentioned. There are lots of Igbos that love IBB because he helped them steal money from us all. They took advantage of Nigerian's mismanagement as much as they could.

To be frank with you, Igbos are very aggressive people. If we don't have other ethnic groups protecting our leaders because of ethnic interest, we would react appropriately. This corruption is not endemic in our culture, it's foreign believe me.

who even dey miss inform u like this? u should live in the eastern nigeria for a while and repeat ursef. how agressive were the wawa people under nnamani, how agressive were abians under orji (as a matter of fact he still soaks their head in water and everyone walks on with life), how agressive were the anambrans when their governor was kidnapped? their names were missing from the ballot papers in the last election and they said let peace rain. whose adage is it? OGADIMMA EMECHA! face it bro!!! its only those living outside this country who are screaming Biafra and has recruited unemployed and unwilling to be educated youths to play the massob tunes,

let's face it, if native igbos wanted out of nigeria, they would have long left. but the truth is u are dancing to the tune of a paid hype that was not in ur home dance

Ex-President Obasanjor once asked this question to NIPSS delegates at an opening session. The answers were as intriguing as the question itself. While some had such heroic plans of passing quick bills that would better Nigeria in years beyond their stay, some would create a state in their region with the capital in their village. but 1 man stole the show by stunning everyone with his answer: "i will first of sign some personal upkeep allowance enough to take care of my children and their children's children, then think of what i could possibly do for the power block of the day, so they may consider keeping me longer!"

Now, its difficult for me to stop thinking once this question comes to my mind: which would i do and which would i leave to chance? if you were there how daring/sincere would have been?
