That thought can't hold water as long as there is onicha in Enugu, Ebonyi and Imo. Theirs should have as well being corrupted

Yeah.

waleademolaa:
Well I'm not igbo myself but i have seen onicha in Enugu and Imo. There is also onicha igbo eze in Ebonyi.

I think those pushing the narrative of trying to change the origin have inferiority complex, if not what about the other onichas in Igboland

That's why I was telling them that all those Onichas might have had migration links with the original Onicha which the whites renamed Onitsha for administrative convenience. So, Onicha in Imo, Anambra, Delta, Ebonyi and Enugu might be related.

But my points will oppose the hausa narrative that says that Onitsha is a Benin town that crossed over. They want to cause a division inside Igboland with their divide and conquer tactics.

OAUTemitayo:
When did he retire?
Lagos state pays gratuities and pensions within a short time of you leaving service.
He should write a letter to Bureau of Establishments.

My friend go and sit down!

Do you think he is illiterate like bubu or that he cannot write a letter? He must have written tons of letters before coming out to beg since his money has been boxed in a bullion van. Laos people are so scared to arrest tinibu for all his attributes. They prefer to sweep the whole thing under the carpet.

BabaOwen:
Lomfa

Onitsha is owned by the Binis

It's true, all the taxes from the city are being paid to Obaseki

Wuruwuru people.

UnBanEbenezer:
keep your history to yourself.
and for the record it's called Asaba which is the present administrative capital of Delta State.
You can call them Anioma people of Delta State, they are of the Anioma Ethnic stock and not Igbo Delta as you wrongly claimed.
Be guided please.

And Anioma is of the hausa ethnic stock and not Igbo

Do you know that Murtala mohammed killed those hundreds of innocent people because they are Igbos, a people who chewed out his entire battalion at Abagana and crushed him twice at the bridge. His frustrations about Igbos made him kill any Igbo he could find across the bridge.

Juliusmalema:
This is history we all know but the other guy called slap44 or 44slap pushing strange onichas to Infiltrate already known history is the height of mischievousness.

So, onicha local government and other Onichas could not have splintered and moved far within Igbo land in pre colonial times?

You see, when people are not Igbos they sound stvpid talking about Igbo matters. You know next to nothing on these matters because y I u are not even from Igbo land.

His gratuity is resting inside one bullion van at Bourdillion road.

I didn't mention anybody name o
It's too early for anyone to quote me o

UnBanEbenezer:
what is the meaning of igbo Delta?
Where does that exist in Nigeria

Igbo Delta is that part of the country where Murtala Mohammed ordered the execution of over 500 innocent adult males in what is best remembered as the "Asaba massacre"

Juliusmalema:
Lol...Is that all you got?

Your plan to hoodwink people into one name has failed.

Lol

So you think he is really a commander. What About zulum?

Juliusmalema:
Lol ..Trash.

There is nothing understand except that the history guiding them is clear..

My opinion is only on the three Onicha I know, the other two us non of my business.

Do you think el rufai is a boko commander as alleged?

Juliusmalema:
Onicha be it ugbo, olona or onicha ado are one stock of people historically...and same dialectical stock ..ie language.


The other onichas you are attaching, I still don't understand what they are doing there or where they come from.......


As far as history is concerned, they have no business with Onicha ado, olona and ugbo.

You won't understand the link to those other onicha because you are not Igbo. Your opinion is useless in this debate, go and join a boko haram debate.

BENARI:
Someone created a thread sometime ago asking if the name Onitsha is an Igbo word.
Well here's the answer to that question;
The Original name of the town is Aniocha and not Onitsha, and yes, you guessed it, Aniocha extend beyond to the other side of the niger river way into delta state. But then you must be wondering; how did the name survive in the Igbo speaking part of Delta State but changed to Onitsha on the other side?

The simple reason is the white man's arrival at the river port. When the white landed at the port of Aniocha(Onitsha) and began his trade with the people there, the best pronunciation he could come up with was something like a-ni-cha because of his accent, and as you know, the man who truely gives the name by which history will remember a person or place is the man who pens the name on paper. By the time the local people could learn to read and write, the name Aniocha had now been written as Onitsha by the white man for some long years. This error is not peculiar to Aniocha(Onitsha) alone, no, it is a very common error that permeates different geographical locations, cultures, etc in particularly Africa and some parts of Latin America. Reason being, we did not have a literate culture of our own which is why we do not have a record of our history before the white came. Some of this errors have been traced and corrected but most remain, perhaps lost in the sands of time.

Nice analysis,
However, you will hit a brick wall if I tell you to explain if it's the whites that gave these equally ancient towns their names.

Onicha Enugu
Onicha olona
Onicha ebonyi
Onicha ugbo

I think Onicha was the right spelling and pronunciation of the town Onitsha before the whites came and spelt what they liked. There was Aniocha also in Anambra and another in Igbo Delta, so that doesn't count.

Hail freedom

Only those?

How many people died of insecurity in Nigeria since that time? Over 20,000

What is the inflation rate since then? Over 30%

neduboo:
But if dangote cement is hoarding their product by creating scarcity in order to inflate the price. What about other cement makers like Elephant, Ibeto and others.

The difference in their price with Dangote cement is not more than #200.

I have news for you, Dangote has a lot of market share, if they hoard (or export) cement, the rest cannot meet up with the local demand, and the borders were shut down so Ibeto cannot import and small smugglers cannot buy across the border.

mank1234:
As per your name, you give am 44 SLAP.
But you haven't said what is behind the high cost.

What is behind the price hike is corruption, and it's happening on 3 levels.

Level one is where the manufacturer decides to leave a supply gap, citing disruptions like covid19 and the endsars riots, then hoard the products and release them in drips, to the highest bidders who are ready to pay from the backdoor to get supplied, because there is a large demand.

Level two corruption is among the dealers themselves, and they do that is by increasing prices exponentially to cover their losses which they are already incurring from customers who paid earlier at low cost, they must raise prices or relocate to their villages.

Level three is the government who will look at where it is happening and say, "after all its not affecting our people, so the south can kill themselves, after all they brought the endsars wahala on themselves"

soonest:
What my dealer told me was that Dangote company is hoarding the product. Many distributors but less supply, so these distributors start tipping and bidding high in order to be supplied. That the highest bidder is sure of supply and this adds to the cost of cement. I don't know how true it is but it kind of made sense to me

Your account is more plausible, because in all of these, the product is still very scarce. I believe that a lot of bribery and corruption is ongoing at the CEMENT COMPANIES, they are profiting from the scarcity and because some certain northerners (names withheld) who sponsored this administration are profiting, the sleaze can go on.

But do the MASSES know this? NO.
What are they doing? BLAMING THEMSELVES.

Chekitaut:
Cement price hike, we should stop disturbing ourselves over it, Dangote is silent about it, no regulatory bodies on price control. There is this loading order call ATC mostly with Dangote, you can believe even without logistics the dealers claim there reason for price hike still sell the ATC @₦2900-3100. I think we are actually the reason we are where we are. Greed, Anarchy, Self-centred the reason we can not grow in Nigeria.

Do you realise far north cement is not sold @ the rediculious price sold in other part of Nigeria.

We go get sense last last.

You, my friend are one of those visionless, directionless floating nigerians who will rather engage their mouths, before thinking of engaging their brains in public discourse. How you came up with the gibberish you wrote up there without being a cement dealer beats my imagination. None of you here ever went to the cement companies to do any investigative work to know how the price rose that much, but you will be here throwing words around to confuse yourself and others on what you know nothing about.

In this your rubbish post, you admitted Dangote is silent, the government are also silent, but you must talk, and talk whatever comes to your head. You heard they sell ATC for 3000, no verification on how much they got it, or the kick back they offered to get it despite the official cost and you believed it and blamed your fellow suffering Nigerians. Tomorrow now you will all start a riot and kill all cement dealers and the government and Dangote will be laughing at your inflated idiocy.

Yes, far north is selling cement normal, and that becomes an indictment on southern dealers, and you never asked if there are penalties the southern dealers are paying behind the scenes to even get a single supply? In your mind, the south is corrupt, and the north is clean.

You people should get out there and investigate. Not running your mouths like a tap.

I support the eastern security network, its a move in the right direction.

joeyfire:
So why does the media keep sharing statements from those clowns?

Because people like you will always clutch on the fake news like a straw.

He is paying supreme court

The phrase called " Ohaneze youths" is a body unknown to law.

There is no body in Igboland called Ohaneze youths. That phrase is frequently used to release fake news from enemies.

An excellent write up.
