Chai it seems Abia State is everything negative. So my brother's ex was selling us a lie when she always tell us Abia is this and that. Chai. They work hard though.

it seems? it depends on who you listen to....

Educationally, Economically, Security wise? Abia state surpasses majority of the other states in Nigeria (including some south east states)

001emeretus:
.ABIA

another loser on the lose..... is your state cleaner than abia?

drmikeadams:
this moniker"sonofel" will come and tell me that abia state is d cleanest state and okezie the best governor

nobody said abia is the cleanest state or has the best governor. Your hate and stupidity only assumed so.

Stop demonizing abia because your state is NOT IN ANY WAY BETTER than abia. Anyway people naturally envy what is above them.

is your state governor the best governor? is your state the cleanest state?

MelesZenawi:
Very stupid...

Instead of limiting to Aba and it's filthiness...he tagged it ndigbo.

What nonsense.

Everytime you keep demonizing aba, are you okay? is your city/state cleaner than aba? are you okay?

legendary lies....either you are an imposter or a sadist.... where in abia are you from? k'ebe amuru nna gi?

MetaPhysical:
The kerosene distributor has turned himself into eba and egusi distributor.

Abia State is insolvent! Collapse the filth into Ebonyi and erase anything known as Abia.

Abia the filthiest town in Africa!

see this hungry man talking.....lol...

aba alone will feed your state for the next 20 years without blinking an eye

if you are not bold enough to mention your state simply shut up....impostor...lol

drmikeadams:
if abia government serious they should find way to fix d negative view people have bout abia as the worst state in west Africa

which state are you from?

LivingSage:
They're wave makers
Even Okezie Ikpeazu has done what no governor has ever done before.
Please kindly find a place for him in the list as well

stupidity has a way of exposing itself. read, they won't read. the picture is that of OPM General Overseer sharing food to the poor and needy in River State.

A lot of people posting RUBBISH against Abia state.

ikpeazu may not be a first choice governor, but stop using his setback to de-market abia. Abia is bigger than most states (including some east) states in Nigeria using educational, security and economic indices.

ComrDaprince:
Part 2 day of Ariaria international market Aba Abia state. Date 30/03/2020..
Abia state needs redemption.. Please why is Abia state different from other states...

Video � � � � � � � � � �

stop this nonsense.

If your footage is indeed true, is that the only section of aba that you could post? is it only aba that has waste issues?

Have you been to Makoko, Mile 12 or Agege in Lagos to see the stench there? What about upper iweka in onitsha?

are you paid to de-market aba or what? are you okay?

Funaki:
You can't use Bible to judge this. People married their cousins in the Bible

Joseph and Mary were historically second cousins based on anthropological accounts, though not explicitly recorded in the Bible.

Albert Eistein married his first cousin

Australia, south America, some areas in North America, north Africa and southeast asean countries allow cousin marriage

northern Nigeria allow cousin marriage

in my opinion, cousin offspring is genetically dangerous... Igbo don't allow cousin marriage..it is a taboo.. I don't know for Yoruba.

Advise you brother if you confirm your suspicion. a sincere prayer for forgiveness from God and complete seperation of your brother and cousin will remedy the situation. no more visitation.

Unik3030:
well done
world economy that is not even ranked in Nigeria,an average Igbo man n chestbeating is like 5 and 6

why are you are this pathetic? who talked about ranking in Nigeria? oh I get it....you are to shallow to even properly investigate.

Unik3030:
eastern region d fastest growing economy in the world?haba,take it easy bro.only God knows where u people get your weed

you rant too much....yes the World, but I actually meant the DEVELOPING WORLD. this includes southeast Asia, South America and far East Asia, so we aren't just referring to Africa here.

pls read research works on world economies of the 50s and 60s. stop fooling yourself.

iberrylee:
Hahahahahaha we all know cocoa money made Ibadan what it is today, I'm sure you miscreants know this but decided to remove the plug to your brain.
The premier university(unibadan)
First TV station.
Cocoa House(tallest as at that time)
Liberty stadium
Now tell me where wasNnewi Aba and onitcha during this period?? Y'all are still living on the tree during that period

so where are those "firsts" now? how are they faring today?

with all your firsts, the Eastern region was still the fastest growing economy in the world (not even Africa) if you know your modern African history well.

take your ewedu firsts and get out of this thread.

UMUAHIA1stson:
I am from Abia state, but to put it nicely, Abia state is cursed and it the worst state in Nigeria

what do you benefit by mudslinging abia state? is your state better than abia state?

why are you so cowardly in representing your true state rather, you use a fake umuahia moniker? Ha vuru gi asu?

your state in the next 100 years can never be as Industrious as abia state.

nkita tagbuo kwe gi nge-ahu.

we know ikwerre and other borderline Igbo communities like agbor, ukwuani are Igbo subgroups, however, IF they say they aren't igbos, we need to respect that. either way, they are inconsequential to our cause.

MelesZenawi:
Ipob what?....what nonsense

What is it everyone that observed such trash. It is at ur own will and not a necessity. Try and come with something strong.

Moreover I don't argue with anything IPOB, they are miscreants, animals and fools. They constitute danger to the society and must be decimated anywhere they are seen.


In short term...Ipob wu ndi ala ndi ala.

They are neither miscreants, animals nor fools. Quit the rant. They have their pursuit and they are following it dilligently. Let them be abeg.

You may not agree that ikwerre is an Igbo dialect, but indeed it is. The difference is that majority of them have decided to carve a new ethnicity for themselves. They can go ahead after all, ancient igboland comprised of villages and clans who were highly autonomous and Republican. Going from ngwa to ohuhu, or from orlu to awka, was like going from one country to another.

[color=#990000][/color]

ikwerre are INCONSEQUENTIAL lots. My personal conviction is that they are Igbo, but WHO AM I to proclaim such if 90% of them say they aren't? As of today, Ikwerre are rather igboid than being IGBO. H'abughi ndi igbo as it stands today since 1979.

They may be igboid but not igbo. LET THEM BE. They are not indispensable. They are a drag to the Igbo cause.

NNAMDI KANU's biafran dream includes Igbo and non-igbo (igboid) eastern groups... how I wish this igboid groups are severed from the movement. But then, in some of the IPOB meetings I have observed in the past, I see this igboid groups being represented. Let IPOB be, you never can tell which Igbo aspirations the 'gods' will favor, whether through IPOB or Ohaneze or so so and so.

Die this ikwerre issue. they are inconsequential to the Igbo cause.

MelesZenawi:
Are you not contradicting yourself...

Then why forcing Ikwerre to be Igbo since they have chosen their Identity as Ikwerre.

not all of them deny being igbo..... so take them as they come, although in an inconsequential manner.

Tonto Dikeh Denies Saying She Can’t Marry An Igbo Man
BY AKINWALE AKINYOADE
06 MAY 2019 | 6:00 PM
Popular Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has denied viral reports that she said in a 2012 interview that she can’t marry an Igbo man.

The mother of one has taken to social media to deny the claims with a disclaimer.


She wrote:

“DISCLAIMER:

I have heard and read a couple of times about this topic and I am actually totally shocked at this!!

I have never granted an interview saying such nonsense, I am practically Igbo.

I always said it years back that I didn’t have any Facebook account and anything at that time that came from Facebook under my name was not from me.

I only just joined Facebook a few years ago. Also I made a disclaimer eight years ago on Twitter about this issue.

Also, as said by the invisible Tonto that I was raised by a poor father and had to sleep under bridges to make a living! Too bad. That’s far from my case, I came from money and lived an average childhood with everything I ever needed at my feet, went to the best schools in my community!!

Don’t get deceived by the media, if I said it, I will boldly stand to it!!

No media house can make claim to this interview so please my people these are not my words.

#Enough is Enough.”

This is coming on the heels of Dikeh being in a long war of allegations with her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill. Their accusations and counter-accusations against each other have been extending for so long that the Actors Guild of Nigeria recently threatened Dikeh with a sanction if she doesn’t take her marital issues of social media.

Old Pazienza still acting stupid. How do you explain this foolery at this age. Look at the monickers you’re engaging. If not foolishness what would you call it. How do discuss useless topics as this with Aboki’s and their Afonja friends. You and the fellow IPOB members such as Selemempe are a disgrace to your fathers house.

are you okay?

I had two ikwerre acquaintances back on my NYSC days in far away kebbi state. to be honest, these guys are lazy self-entitled opportunists. Once they need help or support from you they speak Igbo and try to impress you about their igboness. But when Igbo bashing comes, they suddenly drop their "igboness" like a hot potato. funny enough, they do such with an Igbo accent. they deceive our sisters that they are igbos when trying to woo them.

I feel closer to an ibibio or efik person than these losers. Although I must admit, I have seen an ikwerre person openly castigating his people for denying their igboness.

ikwerre and ukwuani people's identity crisis no be for here.

if you say you are igbo, no problem
if you say you are NOT Igbo, no problem.
the fact however is, that you are INCONSEQUENTIAL in the igbo scheme of things. You officially DENIED your Igboness in 1979. Bye Felicia.

selemempe:
listen to what this ikwere man has to say about that


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d4VwLVVXpA

obviously alot of young ikwerre people are ignorant and misled. WAR NA BAD THING O...

MelesZenawi:
What nonsense.

Ikwerre is ikwerre and not igbo.

Igbo is igbo.


Ikwerre is a Registered and recognised ethnic group in Nigeria same as Igbo.

So all these arguments are useless.

Ikwerres are not Igbos.

then you are parasites right? bearing our names, following our customs and traditions, wearing our clothes and have our market days.

monalisa chinda on BBC igbo says she is ikwerre-Igbo, same for Tonto dike, why?

ikwerre are Igbos seeking a new identity for themselves. Good luck with that.

nobody is begging you but stop trying to be parasitic with our identity if you truly ain't Igbo.

after all, obigbo and egbema are proudly igbo. you won't be missed Biko.

alfredilly:
Is living in bondage an Igbo film? Do you know how many non Igba cast the movie had? Your foolishness keep getting more and more obvious. Pathetic you neglect what should be called an Igbo film, a movie scripted in Igbo language. Nollywood is a Nigerian movie. It is not an exclusive right of Igbo. How many time do we make you realize this. How many time do we Yoruba capitalize on the tribe of a producer to call a movie own. Nollywood blockbuster Dangerous twins and Out of band was produced a Yoruba person yet we don't call it a Yoruba. Why should we do that when we are not inferiority complex battered tribe who are afraid to identify with our culture and language.

young man, I understand your age won't help you figure it out. living in bondage was an Igbo film produced in 1992 by Kenneth Nnebue. You indomie children of today, you always think you know whereas you are completely ignorant.

keep insulting your elders at home not me

MelesZenawi:
We are not on same league of backwardness.
Tell thatur broda to face and abia and leave us alone.

Oginidi?

you are right, we are not. not only your environment, but your attitude also is a pigsty.

leave abia out of your misery. we have our problems, faces yours without mentioning our beloved state

Abia1stboy:
That clown you are quoting is my cousin, we are both from Abia state. His anger and frustration is because Abia state is a shithole state

next time, lie with finesse. IMPOSTOR

Abia1stboy:
I wish I am from Anambra, being an Abia indigene is curse

impostors spotted. pls take your curse with you.

Abia1stboy:
He said the bitter truth. Abia state is a shithole filthy dilapidated state. Abia state is by far the worst state in Nigeria, by the way I am Aba NGWA.

Mr Impostor. Leave Abia alone, face your state. Abia is ahead of you in many ways, okay?

A true son balances his criticism. You are an impostor

LegendHero:
Lol. You don’t even know your history. What is the duties of the Governor General in an already independent Nigeria? He’s just an ear of the British crown and nothing else. Balewa was the one controlling the government in 1960 as the prime minister. Can you please tell me the powers of Zik in 1960?

Alvan Ikoku only proposed the policy in 1962, he is not in a position of authority to implement any scheme. It’s just akin to educated man giving an idea to the central government after he saw what the western region achieved with the free education. The federal military government later implemented free education nationwide in 1976.

Read a little bit of your history!

you keep trying to sell your stuff but it keeps backfiring. A Governor General's office differed from that of a ceremonial president, and zik held both. Zik was where Awo could only dream of. Ziks men were running the country that it so scared the sardauna of sokoto, ahmadu Bello.

Go and read about the memoirs of alvan ikoku. he wasn't a premier nor a governor, so he couldn't enforce anything, especially before Nigeria achieved self governance prior to independence. However, he had been lobbying for free primary education since the 40s. finetune your googling.

alfredilly:
That you Igbo were cut off from civilization does not give you the right to discredit it. Do you know that Yoruba cultural movie had been popular in home video before some ex convict came to Alaba to produce English movie? The like of Fadeyi Oloro, Abija wara bi ekum, Orisabunmi, Yemi my lover we're popular names in Yoruba home video.

Then again why do you think you have to attribute Nigerian English movie to Igbo just because some Igbo producer came to Lagos to start making movie. Even your most prominent cast are not Igbo. Omotola Jalade, Ramsey Nouah, RMD, Regina Askia, Ibinabo Fiberesima, Olu Jacob. It is a Nigerian movie because Igbo producer were not the only one in the business.

Do you even know how the world Nollywood came about? Let me school your empty brain. It was in 2003. The Nigerian actor after a decade of success went to the US to attend a movie premier. There it was decided that Nigerian movie should adopt the name Nollywood while Indian should go by Bollywood. No originality in the name. It was an imitatuon of American.

I narrated yesterday, the cause of Igbo marketers decline after the US experience but let me school you further. When the actors return home from US, they started making demanding higher pay. Rather than giving the actors some listening hear, the marketers came down on them. All the prominent actors were suspended. Genevieve, Ramsey Nouah, Omotola, Nkem Owoh and other we're all suspended. With that decision, You will understand the cultlike arrangements Igbo producer brought into the industry. They felt they have a monopoly and so they can decide the fate of actor. During this period many of the actor went to produce song. Genevieve sand a song, and Omotola sang Naija lowa. That was the beginning of independence for the actors.

yemi my lover and co made the kind of international waves "living in bondage" made? lool.... you yorubas display subtle arrogance and pride, something you accuse Igbo of.
