Igboid:
You see them in names of towns and villages within a town throughout Igbo land.

And you will notice they are usually used in place of Uno/Ulo.

Like you have Uru-ala close to Nnewi in Imo state. Literally it means homestead that is in a flat/ low topography, as against one in a hilly one.
In Nnewi proper, you have Uru-agu. Meaning Homestead built in an Agu( thick forest).

In Ogidi one of the Nine villages that make up the town is called "Uru", so you have places like "Uru-Orji" , meaning a homestead build by an Orji tree.
We have "Uru-Ezearo" meaning homestead of of Ezearo.

In Nnewe Enugu (Aninri LGA), they have a village called "Uhueze". The founder of the village is probably names "Eze".

Uhu/Uru is attached to up to hundred villages and towns all over Igboland.

Igboid:
Examples of what bro?

Igboid:
Yes. That's a post colonial Igbo word for them.

In precolonial Igbo era, they were called Olu/Oru.
Ask any old person in your village, they will confirm that for you.
Language is a living thing and is continuously evolving.
Check out how Uno/Ulo/Uyo/Oro depending on your dialect, has displaced the more ancient Igbo word for homestead "Uru/Uhu", from our daily usage.
Uhu/uru are only preserved in the names of our towns and villages. Hardly do any Igbo dialect use it in every day conversation these days.
Language evolution caught up with it.

NgwalandAbia:
Na so one useless aboki military once ask me at Aba what is written on my chain..just because it was written proudly Sunland and I told him that I don't like talking to strangers in our land. He was shocked that I called him a stranger..I was waiting for his reaction let my boys go all over him.

Useless dogs.

GenBuhari:
When PMB proscribed IP0B back in 2017, many did not realise that Buhari saw the future.

"IP0B are peaceful unarmed protesters" they said.

Now we can see what Buhari was seeing back then in 2017.

The long balls were too much my eyes got heavy. As I close my eyes, I can still see Balogun playing another long ball to Osimhen that will never get to him.

AdakaBoro8:
the funny thing is that, now that ebonyians are now disassociatin from igbo, you won't see the likes izuchukwu18 slayerforever eastlink afonjaheadhunts thegodfather106 thegodfather104 here..... now, they have all disappeared like flash

Ebi2233:
General Ditari and his group gave a proposal on Ijaw Republic to the Ijaw National Affairs Commissioner Patrick Erasmus from Andoni, Rivers Ijaw,
Ijaw National Congress President, Professor Benjamin Okaba and Professor Benjamin Okaba from Delta Ijaw, brought British high commission and his team to Ijaw house and he, General Ditari, sir Atamuno from Kalabari and many other Ijaw leaders gave the British the proposal for Ijaw Republic.
And British high commissioner and his group took it to Britain.
For months now.
Why didn't other so called South South cry out? It's because Ijaws are together just Balkanized into many states by the Nigerian system. The sea routes u speak of, it's Ijaws that are there.

PROUDIGBO:
All we have to go on is the link to a nondescript website attached at the bottom of the OP! If i were to wager, i’d say he didn’t say it! It wouldn’t be the first time a Igbo person or group would deny quotes attributed to them,

Some shameless fools (who on a good day despise Igbos with passion) are seriously invested in trying to take wind out of the sails of the emancipation effort!

BigSarah:
Alexbells, Igboid, Eastlink and maybe horsepower.
Are the only realistic Igbos on Nairaland...

You can't be Pro-Biafra and then decide to be deluded.
When the Igbos in the SS look at the results or gains of IPOB in the SE does it look attractive?
Or something to join? It's failure.

IPOB should truly understand And Be civil.

With IPOB style this agitation can last 20yrs and still no Biafra and the Maltreatment On the SE will get worse..
The more IPOB fails the worse it gets for the SE.. IPOB should stop failing or they should stop trying.

Igboid:
When when they disappoint, I will be here to call them out.

But for now, they should be praised for what they currently did.
