If Igbos tell us that they don't have a king both online and offline, wetin pesin go do?
igbo enweghi eze (igbo has no king) does not literally mean we have no king... But it means the king does not have all powers but the community. It is a form of democracy.

Now BBC has reported it, the world is now aware that Zoogeria pulled the first trigger.
Please Biafrans in diaspora, we need weapons in Biafraland. The Zoo Must Fall!
the best approach to this kind of thing is remove emotions a bit and plan ahead. Open confrontation with the fg will not be good at all but there are other possible ways of doing that especially now.

At one end, you guys claim that igbos have no king, at another end, you guys claim that eze cockroach is a king.

Be consistent with your stories.
the fact is that you can't understand the culture of ndi igbo by just coming online, you have to be a little bit in it to understand.
Eze is the name of king in some area of igboland,while igwe & obi is the name of king in other areas.

Why do I need to Google it? If a big tribe like the Igbo doesn't have its cloth in the mouths of everyone then it's a shame. I'm sure 90% of Igbos haven't heard that name.
The Igbos are always ashamed of their culture. An Igbo man (even illiterates) can never speak his language without mixing it with some broken English. They're so ashamed of the grunting sounds in the language.
dear friend I think am done with you

OnTheMoveWA:
Urban settlements are part of Yoruba culture. Same for Hausa. Igbos lived in villages and used leaves and hides to cover their unclothedness like in the Garden of Eden. Name a traditional Igbo cloth like the ofi of the Yoruba and the kente of the Ashanti. All your traditional clothes are recent creations because you didn't need clothes in those days.
Villages can be cool but there are reasons they're not capitals of anywhere.
you are a naive fellow...[akwaete]

but if he is to build it in Igbere, what produce and what market is he targeting. He should rather remain a business man by making use of the right location.

Politics › Re: Ikwerre, Ukwuanni, Ika, Ahoada And Ekpeye Are Not Igbo But Edo by Scholes007(m): 9:23am On Oct 14, 2015
alablec:
@Kingzizzy, the problem is that we don't do research again; I have a great background in linguistics and researches in African history, we need to accept reality. Languages do evolve and change overtime, these people were not originally Igbos but if they now accept to be Igbo, fine. The people called Igbo now had different origins but they've accepted to be one just like any other tribe. The British colonial government supported the missionary to imposed Igbo language on these people because the Bible has been translated to Igbo and the Education system then, overtime they assimilated it. In my research among these people, I found out that all the Church officials that are not Britons are mainly Igbo who supported the imposition then.
The Urobos and many groups- Oguta, Onitsha and all those op mentioned traced their origins to Bini, these are not mistake. Yoruba will never claim or reject if they so wished the Apoi, Ogori, Egun and several Borgu, Nupe, etc that use the language or have assimilated nor Hausas claiming the minorities who now bear Hausa names and use no other language but Hausa. Average Ika man would not accept to be Igbo and you must also know that there are pockets of Yoruba and Igala communities in Delta North that have assimilated to their environment, you can't force them but they can accept to be Igbo just the way Apoi has assimilated but their brothers Arogbo understand Yoruba but have not assimilated.
i guess the british also forced all the igbo tradition and culture on them, they also forced them to name their children igbo names?. My friend-
The reason why these people's history can not be rewritten is because of their strong characteristics in igbo culture of self dependence and heirarchy. Though with close culture,name,history among themselves an asaba man will not answer agbor man, ikwere will not be termed ahuada, aro man will not be afikpo and so on but all can be termed igbo because they are subset of it.
SIMPLE FACT
Politics › Re: Ikwerre, Ukwuanni, Ika, Ahoada And Ekpeye Are Not Igbo But Edo by Scholes007(m):
Igbos(agburu igbo) are republican in nature, they live in clans(mba) eg the ngwa clan. Within the clans they live in sub clans(mostly refer to autonomous communities in recent times(obodo)). Eg ossioma ngwa, obingwa etc. Sometimes these sub clans are still divided again. Then come kingdreds(umunna,ikwu,ibe,onumara,ezi...) after which the families. Within these hierarchies there are some variations in dialect,cultures, traditions etc but there is so many things that unites them/makes them igbos, they includes; names,igbo izugbe(general igbo),market days,age grade,circumcision,dress,similarity in titles and most of all the pride of been igbo.
The op and other misinformed fellows must/should have had a glimpse of who and what makes an Igbo
Politics › Re: Ikwerre, Ukwuanni, Ika, Ahoada And Ekpeye Are Not Igbo But Edo by Scholes007(m):
A stupid man can wake up one day and start shouting NGWA IGBO, AROCHUKWU, IZZI,EFFIOM ... Are not Igbos.
The gospel truth is that, many nigerian know little or nothing about the igbos, hence all this adore about nothing.
@op * can you name the places you term ikwere, do you know ukwaman in rivers state though igbo will not like to be called ikwere, same is applicable with an ahuada man, but will proudly answer igbo why? Because both of them are from different distinctive subset(clan) which is under the main set(igbo tribe) [Ikwere this, ikwere that is all for those with identity problem]
