No interested in knowing......is only when u do smtin bad that u will be concerned about such.

you have answered the question. now tell that to some of those spoiling the image of anambra. tell that to the man in the mirror.

Juliusmalema:
Inferiority complex is too bad.


This allergy to anambra is getting out of hand......is anambra the only state in SE

Imo state calling anambra
Ebonyi will say anambra
Enugu. Samething
Abia na anambra.....are u guys okay........or u want to suffocate anambra....

Every litlle truth....u will hear anambra, anambra,anambra, anambra.....for real.....emeru unu eme....

Anyway anambra is now opting out of biafra republic.....we want to pursue Federal republic of omambala....

Ebonyi, Imo, Enugu and Abia can retain biafra.....so that peace will reign....and this anambra up and down will stop.....

have you asked yourself - why is everybody complaining about me both within and withal?
why is anambra's air the most polluted on earth?

guma ishi gi tupu isawa'm ajuju m'juru gi.

Juliusmalema:
A doom state that someone has the temerity to write epistle on....

What is good to write about abia state infrastructurally.....it. Is only a fool that will agree that abia is moving in the right direction.

The state alone is as as backward as Somalia and Sudan and should be bombed down if necessary.
It is so appalling that with such dirtiness in aba...and abia state as a whole someone is writing history of dead fellows.....who may not even be remembered fondly by history.


It is an insult to God by using obodo chineke to describe abia state....God doesn't propagate evil or encourage mediocrity.


It is high time all abians both her Governor, house of assembly member and infact all abians go on a bench marking tour to Ebonyi state and Gov Umahi will lecture them on final points of governance.

Ofcus we over here don't need to lecture them, we have delegated Ebonyi to that......

Lol..... I hope yo now feel better vomiting the toxic waste in you.

Some ANAMBRA insecure efulefus won't just let abia be. Anyway, a great tree will always be perched and perked on.

Redflame I am with you jaare....haters can go ahead and gulp hydrochloric acid.

My prayers for ikpeazu is for him to speed his momentum in infrastructural renewal. So be it in Jesus name.

Pls the so called "light of the nation" should address the state of polluted air in their land. No human being can live long in that state.

JAMESOJAY:
I don't think you understand English in the afternoon lol

I said that abia state is the third dirtiest State in Nigeria..you are not an honest man cause people like you are the reason why abia state will never be good.

I don't know what you do with your phone cause am surprise that a grow man like you can't use Google..its a big shame

This is the Web site you can check for yourself

https://www.nigerianinfopedia.com/dirtiest-states-nigeria/

Pls cure your blood pressure before you blank out.

What parameters were used in adjudging the abia is 3rd dirtiest? You are still bluffing until you are able to reel out the parameters, then we can start comparing.

Nice one OP

SwedishDocument:
Hehehehe

Abia state is dead. Propaganda cannot save the state. Stop crying..lol

*yimu*

SwedishDocument:
Who's this clown trying so hard to deceive? Do you know we are the people that run NL? Keep deceiving yourself trying to cover your tracks. Superlightning aka redflame, you were banned yesterday and you opened another username within hours. Stop your propaganda because Abia state is a terrible condition. You can't hide it because everyone knows already. Lol

I don't need to prove anything young man. I am so sorry for you and your ANAMBRA propaganda...

God bless abia. Obodo chineke.

SwedishDocument:
Lol.. they banned your redflame username yesterday. So stop crying. Stop fooling yourself. You no get shame to defend a dead state. I dey ready for you.

Is this how low nairaland has descended? Na wa o..... So because I quote redflame now means I am redflame? Chai.... You amuse me.

Keep screaming to the heavens. It won't change anything or anybody's opinion.

No state beats abia in terms of MSME and education.

Your state should try harder.

JAMESOJAY:
I don't share you views cause it's useles..reasons is that abia state is messed up and you know the truth but you are taking sides cause you are ngwa.

Google is your friend use it and check your so called abia state position in the list of dirtest state in Nigeria..only stupid people argue without facts

Any man that support evil is stupid and foolish

Be careful you might have a heart attack.

I'm still searching for the tabloid that positioned Aba as the dirtiest state in Nigeria.

As for ANAMBRA , I know tabloids that reported that they have the most polluted air on earth. I hope your governor does something about it.

SwedishDocument:
See this clown he is even denying his account. Lol

Abia state is dead. You have to live with it. Lol

I won't engage you any further. Redflame dealt you guys badly.

Focus on the development of your state and leave Aba alone. Why crying over their matter? ANAMBRA people eh.....lol

SwedishDocument:
Lol..You have said it all. Superlightning aka redflame over to you

What are you talking about?

And why attacking those who don't agree with you?

Thank God redflame exposed the can worms in your states wardrobe. I have some of his posts and they were eye opening. nobody attacked your state despite the stench reported.

I am for peace and progress. Whoever redflame is, I respect his straightforwardness.

Abia is moving up. Ikpeazu must do more to get my satisfactory nod.

JAMESOJAY:
You see how stupid and foolish you are..tomorrow you open your dirty mouth saying that the hausa and the Yourbas hate ibos but look what your useless governor is doing

Abia state is the third dirtiest State in Nigeria and you have mouth to talk, abia state is owing 10 months salary..if your father and mother or any related to is been owed 10 months salary how will you feel?

Open your eyes and stop being stupid and dump

You have not made any sense by cursing someone who doesn't share your views.

Secondly, you cannot say abia is the 3rd dirtiest city because you did no highlight the parameter used in coming to such conclusion

Thirdly, insulting abia state won't do you any good. It even won't change the govt in Abia. So I advice the you be more constructive in your criticism.

For me, ikpeazu needs to do more before he can get a satisfactory mark from me, that is not to say he has not been addressing some infrastructural deficits.

My 2 cents.

TundeBricklayer:
I'm surprise how you guys stupidly entered this conehead trap, see how you guys are disgracing yourselves

but why not call them to order on time rather than waiting until the rest of us have been pushed to the wall?

first president - ZIK (anambra)
first head of state - IRONSI (abia)

first igbo civilian VP - EKWUEME (anambra)
first igbo military VP - UKIWE (abia)

first black VC UI - KENNETH DIKE (anambra)
first black VC UNN and UNILAG - ENI NJOKU (abia)

anambra has onitsha and nnewi
abia has aba and abiriba (small london)

nri migrated from north route down to east
aro migrated from middle route to east

i wonder what anambarians boasts of that others dont have. these anambarians (not all though) are so insecure and arrogant.

it is always anambra trying to downplay history to suit themselves

michael okpara, the premier of old eastern region (from umuahia) with the legal support of akanu ibiam (from afikpo), ceremonial governor of eastern nigeria built the fastest growing economy in africa, but no abian or ebonyi indigene will make noise over it.

alvan ikoku (from arochukwu) was the man who helped consolidate primary, technical and secondary school education in nigeria. his portrait is in the N10 currency. you wont see abians making noise

if it were anambrarians that were credited for it, we for no hear word today.

OMANBALA1:
I hate insecure ffools, they bore me. Goodbye

lazy boy. read and study, you wont. omambala and abuse are like 5 and 6. your concealed inferiority is obvious, downplaying others to look superior....lol...children eh

i know you will still peep in. aro confederacy controlled many parts of igboland and beyond through economic power (palm oil and slave trade). they also had military might for external invasion or internal unrest and long juju shrine as a form of supreme court.

am waiting for your proof against aro controlling much of igboland before british came in.

lazy boy.

OMANBALA1:
Ohafia, Abam and Abiriba are not Aro people....Itibolobo nwa ebonyi. I know you are ffucking ignorant....lol

its unfortunate that you lack comprehending skills...

ohafia, abam, abiriba were part and parcel of aro confederacy, i never said they were aro people.

the aro kingdom was a confederacy. ohafia was part of it... go to school you wont.

OMANBALA1:
Nowhere in history was it said Aro colonized any town in Igbo land...No where!! However, Aro Ajali, Ndiziogu and Ikelionwu were taught the codes of Nze na Ozo...How majestic!

see this one. always trying to push his nri superiority agenda indirectly. tell your cock and bull to another. aros know their history, you cant tell me my history....lol.....am just laughing at you kid

OMANBALA1:
Arochukwu didn't colonize any gaddem town, they were mostly displaced and destitutes who settled among land owners. In Ajali they were given lands. Aro people do not have the intelligence to colonize nor use cultural means to influence the whole Igbo land like Nri. You sound like a profound iidiot, thats why they call you abakaliki. I tried to be civil with you but you are not very intelligent, henceforth I will treat you like a nonentity without real cultural grounding. Even Arondizuogu were taught Nze na Ozo.

your rants are inconsequential. those that know history knows their history. you children of today are intellectually lazy. investigate and thank me later.

Arondizuogu:
I don't think they controlled Igbo land, Confederates don't usually have one law making bodies! But they were regional powers, mostly because of Agbara Ukpabi. Most villages then didn't like going to war with the because they exhibited barbaric tendencies like the early Germans, they would likely plunder and pillage their way through towns and villages!

they colonised much of igboland through economic power before the british came in. they were also fighters e.g ohafia, bende, etc

OMANBALA1:
Aro were raiders not WARRIORS!!!

now i know you are juvenile. you dont know history. what a waste. lol...

OMANBALA1:
I dont know why you are writing a meaningless, senseless , non existent and insignificant piece of crap that have not been able to prove your ignorant claims...lol

You are yet to tell me who Aro colonize and how they controlled Igbo land.

In fact, let me help you out a little...Do you know many people from the hinterland moved to Aro during the trading era and returned afterwards? Do you also alot of Aro became gypsies and destitutes after the fall of the Aro....lol. I dont want to hurt your feelings.

nri has no power over aro.....dont even begin to push your anambra superiority here. lol

every historian knows that aro colonized many parts of igboland. it is history. deal with it. dont worry we wont enslave you anymore okay?

OMANBALA1:
You are a ffucking joke for posting this crap here. Some manufactured piece of crap written by some history distorter is your argument?? You are miserable. You pulled that sshit in the academic community and you will be hanged....lol

very typical of omambala, shouting, ranting and then finally, lolling

have you heard of eze chima the anioma ancestor? he was an aro prince


Eze Chima: An Ancient Aro Epic is a new, refreshing tale of the Arochukwu civilisation, written as a novel and published in 2016. Authored by Chike Nwaka, a writer, poet, artist and an Aro man who confesses to have drunk directly from the folkloric fountain of rich oral traditional tales from his father and grandfather, Eze Chima uses the heroism of one major character, Chima, to shed brighter light on the origins of Aro people, their world views and primordial connections to other ethnic peoples outside Igbo land.

[b]The Aro people, domiciled in Arochukwu land in Southeast Nigeria and found everywhere, have been universally known for ages to be a distinct people among the Igbo. A lot of legendary tales and reputation precedes the Aro race, telling of their uncommon adventurous spirit, enterprise, hard work, integrity, boldness, honour, respect, humility, wisdom and leadership qualities. All these acclaimed sterling Aro attributes are what the central character of Eze Chima personifies in his heroic journey through the riveting story.[/b]

[b]In fact, the story of Chima as the protagonist of Eze Chima novel is the story of an unusually epic era in ancient Arochukwu civilisation. According the story, which any enthusiastic reader will find quite absorbing till the last page, Chima was born a prodigy, an adult in a baby’s body as he was a reincarnated being who had lived several lives before his present coming. So strange and unique was his birth that he could already, as an infant, engage a sage, Mazi Uchenivu, in esoteric conversation. The king, Eze Aro of the time, was also amazed by the extraordinary traits and actions of Chima as he grew up. The whole Arochukwu Kingdom was in awe of Chima, as incredible tales of his legendary exploits spread like wildfire. He once, like a David against Goliath, fought Okon, an intimidating bully, who led his criminal gang to rob and rape in Arochukwu, bringing his reign of terror to an end, much to the relief and cheers of the people.

So, it became so obvious to all and sundry that Chima was born with god-like powers. But he did not use his powers for evil, but to protect the weak, help the community and curtail oppression and wickedness. So, when King Orhamenye came all the way from Ebeinu (Benin Kingdom in Edo) to Arochukwu to consult the Eze Aro for help in solving intractable problems in his kingdom, it was Chima who was chosen to be the Messiah.[/b] When Chima got to Ebeinu, he became King Orhamenye’s most trusted confidant and adviser, with his uncommon words of wisdom and nobility. Before long, even the people of Ebeinu became fond of Chima as he taught the young people diverse skills, helped people in distress, taught them deep truths about life and helped ensure justice in the kingdom.

Of course, the oppressive aristocrats of Ebeinu kingdom were not happy with Chima’s exploits, closeness to Oba Orhamenye and popularity with the commoners. So, such characters like Azegbedin, a ruthless head wizard, and Ogeame, a power-hungry prince of the former King Ogiso, tried to eliminate Chima but they could not. Meanwhile, Chima married Oba Orhamenye’s daughter, Princess Ivie (later called Adaeze), while he had to valiantly resist temptations from other adoring Ebeinu women like Idia who wanted to marry him. Eventually, Oba Orhamenye, who never liked the boorish cultures of Ebeinu, left for Ife, his father Odudunwa’s kingdom where he once lived before being sent to be king at Ebeinu. Chima too finally left Ebeinu, to go back to Arochukwu after accomplishing his mission. A lot of Ebeinu people left with him and as he journeyed homewards towards Arochukwu, he encountered complex challenges that taxed his leadership skills to the limits. He never made it to Arochukwu when he died, but he became a hero everywhere he stopped and settled down to set up new kingdoms.

OMANBALA1:
Please, I take exception to insulting my intelligence. You should have taken a minute and think about the gravity of your claims before you made it. And Aro DID NOT colonize anybody!!

prove otherwise then, because i have online and offline materials to prove. you'd better prove me wrong because i am ready to silence your omambala ego this evening

ugwuaghachi, be proud of who you are. ARO confederacy was a great kingdom. afikpo was part of that greatness. i salute you.

OMANBALA1:
That's why I never claimed Nri controlled Igbo land. You insecurity and desperation to save your bruised ego led you to shoot yourself in the feet.

i didnt. you did. read my emboldened post again and you will discover that aro colonised many igbo communities

OMANBALA1:
You are doing nothing but recounting Aro trade route and towns where they settled , now I want you to dish me on how they controlled Igbo land !!!

You claimed they CONTROLLED Igbo land!!

read the areas i boldened, you should see the word "colonies" .......aro colonised many if not all of igboland and neighbouring ethnicities

OMANBALA1:
Which truth?? If I say Nri culture spread across Igbo land I have proof for that, now, school me on how Aro controlled Igbo land and woe unto you if you don't. What medium did they use to control you and who did they control

please read my previous post and quit being bitter

nri had no standing army, they only wielded religio-cultural influence by persuasion

aro had military clout

OMANBALA1:
Again, Aro confederacy did not control anything! Do you think this is a kindergarten or what? They were criminals who attacked innocent people, stole and sold them. Aro confederacy didn't hold any power....Show me where Aro defeated any town through war. You can be whatever you want to be but you can't invent history.

PALM OIL and SLAVES were the major business items during those times. ancient rome, ancient greece, ancient egypt, england, usa, spain, portugal, saudi arabia, katanga, etc were all into the business, does it then take away their greatness?

enough of your melodrama


Aro Confederacy


By the mid-18th century, there were mass migrations of several Aro business families into the Igbo hinterland and adjacent areas. This migration, influence of their god Ibini Ukpabi through priests, and their military power supported by alliances with several related neighboring Igbo and eastern Cross River militarized states (particularly Ohafia, Abam, Abiriba, Afikpo, Ekoi etc.) quickly established the Aro Confederacy as a regional economic power.

Aro activities helped coastal Niger Deltacity-states become important centers for the export of palm oil and slaves. Such city-states included Opobo,Bonny, Brass, Calabar as well as other slave trading city-states controlled by the Ijaw, Efik and Igbo. The Aros formed a strong trading network, colonies, and incorporated hundreds of communities that formed into powerful kingdoms. The Ajalili, Arondizuogu, and Bende Kingdoms were the most powerful Aro states in the Confederacy after Arochukwu. Some were founded and named after Commanders and Chiefs like Izuogu Mgboko and Iheme whom led Aro forces to conquer Ikpa Ora and founded Arondizuogu. Later Aro commanders such as Okoro Idozuka also of Arondizuogu expanded the state's borders through warfare in the start of the 19th century. The Aro Confederacy's power, however, was mostly derived from its economic and religious position. With European colonists on their way at the end of the 19th century, things changed.

UgwuAghachi:
Aro Confederacy controlled the whole of Igboland plus some Efik and Ibibio territories through the 18 - 19 century and you're asking me why I'm proud of being Aro - Igbo

you are very correct. ignore anybody who is too feeble to accept the truth. even slavery was part of world history. so aro being caught in the middle of it does not make aro history less great.
